Re: spindle bearing - can I replace at home?

Your best bet to get it out would be to use an air hammer. If you don't have an air compressor / air hammer, then you're kinda screwed on getting it out. As far as getting a new one in, set it on top, and use a piece of flat metal to lay across it and smack it with a hammer from the middle so it evenly distributes the pressure from hitting it.

If you don't have the equipment to do that, try taking it to a shop and seeing if they will just charge you for R&R of the bearing in the spindle.
