Save or replace
But I couldn´t
Then I tried blow air to float them, but nothing.
Any suggestions? Should I just cut them loose and purchase replacements?

More paint
Jim´s temporary solution for keeping abrasive out of the bearings: a rubber plug clamped tightly over the axle holes. Can’t get at the outer edges this way but I can get those edges after you decide what to do about the bearing removal.
Frame, gas tank, headlight shell and misc. bits primed and on bench this afternoon. Almost paint ready. Front fork parts in paint room now with first tack coat of primer. First full wet coat primer in 10 minutes.

Epoxy drying
I plan to paint the frame, its parts and forks with single stage black. The tank, proposed fenders, tailight and headlight I plan to do in two stage ( with clear coat) so that the white stripes can be painted on and clear coated smooth.

removing those peg rubbers

Guess it depends on the condition of the rubber. They don't look worn but maybe they are old and the rubber is not flexible anymore. I would try a wooden drift and a hammer to help jar them off - maybe a last resort - but still worth a try.

breathing apparatus?

I am interested in your painting process. Are you using breathing apparatus? I thought that using two pack paint was very toxic.
My plan is to use lacquer as it is easier to apply, clean up and repair - even if it is not as robust as the two pack paints.
However I am no expert so very happy to hear others opinions and experience.

Thanks for the pic
I am planning a small painting booth, but the air supply and exhaust fan for paint fumes has been bothering me.
Thanks
