A quick tried and tested method used by some Harley Techs at the dealers too and yes it does work. I have done it couple of times.

1 Very important, put on some thick leather gloves.

2 Use an oxy-acetylene torch, {Mapp gas etc or a blow lamp if that's all you have got those these will be far less affective} after breaking the roller cage off {as yours is} using a small nozzle heat quickly just the inner bearing ring all round to get it very hot but not sufficiently to heat the stem.

3 Turn the whole lot upside down and give the base of the yoke where the stem fits in a very sharp tap with a heavy mallet, i.e. a soft faced Nylon tipped Thor type is best and the inner bearing should move, if not fly off.

The trick is in the speed and the heating of the inner bearing race very quickly without getting the stem hot then blunt force shifts the expanded inner and that's why the oxy-acetylene is best.

Watch out the bearing will be very hot, thus the gloves!

PS Don't put the new bearing on dry!
