Tip: if you need something to press on the outer edge of the new bearing without exerting force on the inner race, take the outer shell of the old bearing and slice a slot in it with a hacksaw or Dremel. It's the perfect size to press on a bearing of its type, yet it won't press-fit since you've slotted it.
Yeah, that clip was not designed to come out. There was a little notch on one end and I was able to pry it out of the slot enough to push it down with a screwdriver. Drilling a hole through is a good idea though!
Found a cheap-o socket that is the perfect size to drive in the bearings and cut a square face on it in the lathe so that's covered. Just hope the bearings aere easy to find tomorrow.
I'll post the numbers when I get them.
