REAR Bearing is located in the sensor board housing:

Gently drive out the bearing. It's a press fit and is required to hold the bearing into place. Support the sensor board on it's bolt flange and lightly tap out the bearing.

FRONT Bearing is located in the front endbell(aluminum):

This bearing is glued in place. Simply support the endbell flange, tap out the bearing. In some VERY extreme cases a little warm up some hot water(you're replacing the bearing anyhow) will help loosen the adhesive.
