Never worked on the exact model your referring to but every one I've ever done has just been pressed on. Sometimes rust seizes them in place and when they let go they snap. Here's another way that's messy but works. Cut everything away(rubber and excess sheet steel on holder if it has it till you get to just the bearing itself. PUT ON SAFETY GLASSES AN LONG SLEEVE COAT! Lay the bearing on a solid steel block and wack it with a large hammer till it breaks up. The outer the easiest. You do the same to the inner. The bearings are hardened and break when beat on. We did this all the time when dealing with Farm equipment. Not OSHA approved and again WEAR SAFETY EQUIPMENT. Kevin
