I am not familliar with that series of Vermeer, but the older ones used eccentric locking collar ball bearings. The collar had a counter bore machined off center. You placed the collar over the end of the bearing and used a hammer and punch to rotate the collar to lock the bearing to the shaft. There were holes drilled in the collar to provide purchase for the punch. When tight, a set screw prevented the collar from rotating and coming lose. The operator's manual on F series balers described the procedure along with illustrations. If that is what you have, removing the set screw will not loosen up the bearing. In fact it will still be solid. You may also find that the bearing is still solid after removing the locking collar. The heat from the failure will have distorted the inner race of the bearing and it will need to be cut or ground off. Good Luck! John
