   piece of piss mate.
   remove drum
   pop the seal off
   take the taper bearing out (just pulls out)
   tap the bearing race out (the bit the bearing sits on) using a pumch or flat headed screw driver.
   tap new race in going 12,6,3,9 combination untill you hear a change in tone.
   grease the fook out of the new bearing turning it to make sure all the rollers are lubed all round.
   put back together and away you go,

   you can use the old bearing ,the outside caseing to nock the new one in
   sit a socket inside the old one and sit the caseing on top of the new one and hit the socket
