Bearing makes whining noise. TIA.

It's easy enough. Getting the old one off is the hard part. Puller won't fit in there, gotta grind it off (just one side of course). First with a grinder for most of it, then with a small stone for the last sixteenth or just get it close and it will crack and you'll be able to slide it off. The bearing is one-half of a thousandth smaller than the shaft. Putting the new one on is easy, using the old one as a drift and a hammer. Maybe put the shaft in the freezer first.
