Isn't this bearing supposed to be in the flywheel?

How do I get the bugger out?

What should I do here?

If it is not an issue, please let me know. Its in there pretty good. I figure I am going to have to weld a bolt to it to get it out. Right now, I have no purchase.

The 411, at least, had the bearing in the crank like that since the flywheel was too shallow. The 914 has the spacer ring in there, and the bearing in the flywheel. I agree that a bearing in both places is not a problem PROVIDED that both bearings are functional.
