Use a screwdriver you're not particularly fond of and a hammer. Jam the sprocket with a block of wood. The nut is most likely left-handed thread. Don't forget to take the nut off the left (tach) side of the camshaft. After all that is loose, use a soft drift or brass stock or something like that and tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, .... tap, tap, tap (you get the idea) on the outer bearing races. Usually easiest to tap the the inner bearing through both holes, or I think you might be able to press the camshaft out of it while the inner bearing is loose between the mounts. I don't think it's wise to re-use those bearings but you probably could. Usually a 2-3 beer affair to get both sides out.
