It may take a while to dig through it, but the Woods website is very good about offering manuals you can download, print off, etc.
Seems like the spindle on a belly mower was different than any other I had worked on- like a roll pin though a collar held it together?! I wasn't impressed. Almost seemed like I had to drill a new shaft. But I just remember exactly.

Hmmmm thanks..I was going to put it in my press but did not want to damage it
I broke two casting with my 50 ton press. You will need to build a fixture to keep that from happening on some. The first two that I put new bearings in pressed right out. I kept buying used one off ebay until I got three good ones.
When I got them apart I only had one that the bearing were loose. Could have been pressed tight without the problems.

It's been a few years since I replaced the bearings in a King Kutter mower but they are likely the same with your Woods.
Try prying out the upper seal first. There should be a circlip underneath it. Remove that and you can press them out.
If you have greaseable bearings in there
I recommend spending the extra $ to go with a sealed bearing. The OEM greaseable bearings would only last a year or two. And I do grease stuff before I run it. Man at the bearing house recommended sealed type and they lasted for several years till I sold the mower.
