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,
