Job done in minute's, no damage to the hub or wheel & everything all worked fine with no problem's.

Had another look and I really do not want to damage anything by mistake or brute-force. So I'll take it to the local Yamaha dealer. I did take it to my local bike shop and they said that if they had to take it out they'd weld a bar to the bearing and then knock them out that way.
Had a look at some bearing-pullers and thought that they would not "fit" the wheel to be able to pull up/out the bearings?
Besides the question "how?", what if you where in the middle of, say, China and needed them doing????
