Airflow is my life
You cant press the old bearing off. You have to cut off the retaining collar (VERY CAREFULLY). Then the bearing slides off. New bearing slides on, then the new collar can be pressed on. Any hydraulic press should do tha trick. I have a Harbor Freight style made in China one (12ton). Like $69, woks like a champ.

I used a cut off air tool to cut the retaining collar, the bearing didnt want to come off either, so guess what happen to it? I cut it off too, man that has such a nice smell

piece of steel pipe a little bigger than the shaft and a hammer works just as well, 3 good bangs with a 3lb concrete sledge (plays pantera tune in his head)
