Thanks
It is not just a matter of getting the old bearing out, you also have to get the new one in without killing it. As some have actually gotten themselves in trouble using the correct tools but not following the correct procedure's, you would be well advised to get both the tools and instructions and do it correctly. You can always resell the tools later.
