We just did these for a customer. They really need to be pressed in and out. Take the new bearings and bearing housing with some photocopies of the appropriate Bentley pages to your local machine shop. Should take him an hour or less and not cost that much. The alternative is to find someone with a press and do it yourself. We bought a cheap press from harbor salvage freight for around $150 and it works great for the light duty stuff we do. However since many folks don't have the space or need for a press then the machine shop is the best alternative. Hope this helps, Ken Wilford John 3:16 www.vanagain.com
