I turn bearing carrier upside down loose in vice, old leather jacket on ground under it, and heat carrier around bearing in a circular motion with a propane torch. most of time bearing will just drop out into leather jacket. Propane likely wouldn’t heat carrier to point of damaging carrier but dont stay in one spot too long. There are shims. Make sure you keep track of them. Usually also fall into leather jacket for me or stay in carrier.
As far as handle goes, it should work. They also sold an accessory handle that bolted to trim ring. They show up once in a whole.
