John deere b noise

I had my 1946 B running yesterday and when it was sitting still with the clutch engaged I heard a ticking noise. Turned out just to the right and behind the flywheel there is something tapping against the inside of that cover. I'm guessing the bearing is shot on the transmission shaft inside. Does anyone have a part number for the bearing and how hard of a job is it to change it? Thanks
 
you might want to take a look at the JD online parts manual for your B. would give you the part number and also show what is in there to pop ut
 
I have replaced the upper bearing and lock collar under that cover. The lock collar was 106 bucks. Get on jdparts.com for part numbers. I may have a photo floating around here if that area as well. Getting the old bearing off was not much fun.
 
I must correct myself on the lock collar. It was the lower bearing that takes the lock. I changed both while I was inside. The way I removed the top bearing was to take a dremel with a grinding stone and notch the bearing to allow the rollers to come out. Then I could place a small puller on the two parts and pull it off. I knew I would have to flush the rear end anyway, so a bit of grinding didn't bother me. Here's a pic.

Another pic of before. Removal of the flywheel is suggested and probably going to be required to get enough space to work. As you can see, my lower bearing had issues, I automatically ordered both and replaced both while I was into it.

Can you post the link for online parts for the b. Need to look at my brother in laws steering tricycle front end he thinks it needs a worm gear.
