If it is the inside bearing, you can use a balance shaft and just reverse it from the way it was in and tap it right out.

Go out to Autozone, etc. and rent a bearing driver. Its a long rod w/ different size heads you put on to correctly drive out or put in bearings.

Heres a pic of the driver kit.

And you can use revese the balance shaft to pop out the inner bearing.

^what he said.

For your DSMs' sake, never JB weld anything on the car.

How much does one of those kits run?

Depends where and what style you get. Cheaper kits run $50 or so. More expensive kits $100 or up.
