Any decent shop can press the old bearings out and the new in. When I had mine done a couple of years ago it was $30 or so. Call first. One specialty froiegn shop wanted like $60 to do it. What a rip for a 20 minute job. It is also a great reason to buy a new tool. If I was to do it again I would by a bench top press from Harbor Freight. I think they are like $70 or less. Can't beat Harbor Freight.
