you need a press and it's easy. My bearing was spun had to peen the hub and use loctite sleeve retainer. No press and you aren't doing the job.

you need to support the outer hub we use a auto trans clutch shell - press the center out with a stand up press - then remove the snap ring and push the bearing out // Note some fall out - if its a bit loose use red loc tight and re install - support the back half and spray with WD 40 AND PUSH THE TWO CAREFULLY AS - as it can crack the works - re install the snap ring and install the hub and discs

Ck for a snap ring best I recall and yea a press is needed. Least i thought it was. If you get all apart and have a good machine near, I'd ck with them about pressing it out.

The only time the clutch hub bearing spins is when the clutch is disengaged, and that is when your noise goes away...
If the clutch hub bearing was bad, it would make noise when the clutch lever was pulled in, and the noise would go away when you let the lever out.
I don`t think the clutch hub bearing is the problem.
