    I own a 2012 Husqvarna cr125 and need help removing the top bearing of the triple clamp, I removed to top clamp so I can re-grease or buy a new bearing but the bearing is stuck in the frame and I cant get it out, I don't know if the top bearing is pressed in or needs a special tool to remove it or something.

    Top bearing should pop out or pry out fairly easily as it's not pressed on or anything like that. I'd say it's rusted on, apply some CRC or WD40 and let it soak.

    Are you talking about the bearing or the race? The bearing should pop out, the race needs a special tool or a some motivation with a hammer/punch.

    The tool for the race looks like this...

    It's the bearing stuck, I know the race stays in there. I used wd40 and it's still stuck, it's not rusted in there. The clamp still rotates but it's stuck or something like it's locked. Other bikes I worked on the whole clamp assembly would slide out but this is my first husky and don't know if it was different from other bikes.

    the bearing itself sits on top of the stem doesn't it? Covered over by a rubber dust cover then the final clamp on top of that. It should be easy to get out, but the race, the metal ring the bearing is housed in, needs the right tool [above] or a flat edged screwdriver and several hours of swearing as you try to hit it out. Or you can weld a little bit onto the race, then hit that until it pops out the frame
