I was thinking I could also use a deep socket in an old doubled up sock (you can see from the pictures I have plenty of those laying around) and then with the longer ratchet extension piece attached, use that to tap it out ? I'd have to get a rubber mallet, but I have a smaller ? lb sledge hammer like this one that I could use ?

Only problem there is that I'm trying to avoid additional tooling costs and the next thing would either be to have a bike shop press them back in or actually buy a press and do that myself. Funds are tight for this project, especially since a couple of weeks ago I had an unexpected issue with my lower back, pinched nerve that escalated to a classic sciatica problem in the left leg. So you can see I'm battling a few set backs with this. That's why my patience is what it is. Some days I've had no choice but to set it aside and deal with another issue. I will get her done though, I am committed in that regard.
