I made a cheap, easy bearing retainer removal tool out of a piece of steel flat bar and 2 short 4mm bolts.
Just drill 2 holes in the bar the same distance apart as the holes in the retainer, tap the holes 4mm and screw in the 2 bolts. If you don't have any taps you could drill clearance holes for the bolts and use a nut to hold them in position, just use slightly longer bolts.
They should locate in a pair of holes in the retainer and unscrew it nicely. Mine came out no problem, no damage and I'll keep the tool handy for future use.
If you've got a really stubborn one(oo-err!) and worried about damaging the retainer it would be quite easy to make a wider one and fit 4 bolts to fit all 4 holes on the retainer.
If that doesn't work then by the time you get the retainer out it will be scrap. New ones are available and quite cheap.

Aren't they left hand thread? It's nice to know these things before forcing anything

Most Honda's are normal right hand thread, the only odd one I recall were early 500/4's, they had left hand thread to start with on the rear, then at some point during production run they changed to right hand thread:o
