F1A hydraulic clutch

[hms86f1]

I need to remove the clutch slave cylinder piston and bearing inside the clutch cover.

Don't have the tools so I'll take it to a shop, but there are no Ducati shops within 200 miles of here.

I presume the bearing is first pulled out with a small (8mm) puller. True?

Does this require heat to be applied?

Any insights will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Mr. Allen, for the tip about the grease gun, I'll give it a try!
