Those are some good genes to have in the family pool. Especially after raising 3 hell-raisers! Sounds like you're well prepared for the warm adventure.
I have never pried off or pushed on a bearing before. I've got an application (not on a vehicle) where I have to remove and reinstall a sleeve pressed on to a shaft.
Assuming the local auto parts stores loan you the tools, is it hard?
Nope, not too hard with the right tools.
Harbor Freight does sell a neat kit if you can't find a loaner.
Here's a few I had to replace on my outdrive.
Take your time using the right tools and it's a breeze.
Here's mine, item # 93980

Dave if you don't want to rent the tools, buy the tools or deal with it, take it to an old style auto parts store like All Car Parts on Vanowen and Canoga and they will press it on for you.
By "sleeve", are you referring to a race? I dont know much, but removal of a race involves a grinder, hammer and cold chisel. And the correct way to install is with a press.

Most of the time a Pitman puller would do the trick.
Not sure that old unit has enough gap to get a firm hold, or, even if it's set up to removed.
You might have to hack saw it off, but that doesn't work too well if you need to replace it also.
Junk yard maybe, if it's not an antique?
well got my van to pass smog on the 2nd try today.... got the back fees paid up and a fancy new sticker in hand, and insured it today.....did well in my eyes. also vacuumed out the dirt, sand, and food crumbs. also fixed the passenger side door handle that was not working.
now i just need to fix my spedo/odometer (PSOM) not working which i feel is causing the transmission to shift harsh.
