I've done it myself, although some bearings are pined in, which can slow
you down. But most of the time it's easy.
I'm not sure if 'pined' is the right term- what I mean is when
they take a punch and dimple the area around the bearing (once or twice,
usually) to crush against the bearing.

NAPA is the best, they can get bearings by size or sometimes by a number
on the bearing. It's best to take them out and bring them to NAPA, so
they can get a perfect match. Most bearings are standard sizes, I've
never had a problem. NAPA is good for seals too, as they can order by
size too, rather than application.
