Jaay:
If it's only been in there for 1K miles, it's unlikely that you would have to replace it, unless it's been sitting around exposed to the elements. If there is any pitting or galling on the surfaces of the rollers or other parts of the bearing, it should be replaced.
To get the bearing out, if the flyweel if off you can use a drift of the appropriate size, or if it's on the car you can use the bearing puller and slide hammer combination mentioned by FTD. A press would be ideal for installing the new bearing. If you are going to DIY, you should look at the workshop manual to see if they recommend cooling the bearing and/or heating the flywheel to ease installation of the new bearing.
If you have the flywheel still off, and don't want to DIY, buy the new bearing and bring it to a machine shop for removal/installation. That will be relatively inexpensive.
