Hi just rebuilding the kdx I did not take the gear drum out but are there any marks when assembling to align the selectors all fit in the runners

1 or 2 days of a good penetrating oil can make a big difference. Which needle bearing are you trying to pull out?

A lot of people say to just put the case in the oven.

Agreed. 275 - 300 degrees F. Use gloves & turn the case over on a piece of wood, smack it down to help. Inside bearings may still need the "slide hammer/puller tool" as I call it.
