Changing driveshaft bearing

[95RXL]

Is it possible to change the speedo side driveshaft bearing without completely pulling out the driveshaft? I've loosened the track all the way up and pulled the speedo cover off. The bearing is right there but just can't get it to come off. It's an 08 D700 RMK. The bearing actually feels good but want to put a turbo on so would like to replace it.

Does this bearing have the retaining collar with the set screws on the inside like the older Poo's did?

There isn't a set screw on the new bearing so thinking not. I have a little puller I can try but it looks like aluminum where the bolt of the puller would go and don't want to mush it up.

The Bearings are pressed on!!

You will need to Drop Skid.. and take out the Driveshaft..

Press it off with a press and put the new one on!! OOO Don't forget to put the Collar on First Before the Bearing!!!
