I have a 435 and I believe they are the same. The bearings are pressed into the roller tube. I use the hex shaft to tap them out. Give them a good shot of penetrating oil and they should come out fairly easy.

This is the parts breakdown, it might help.

Using a longer bar than roller drive each brg out then tap new brgs in place. I recommend to replace brgs in both ends of roller.

I have a 535 too. As stated the shaft inside it works, just be careful not to damage threads. Let the shaft out one end and rest it on the ground with the roller being vertical (of course ground needs to be hard, like metal, as it would be damaged, chunk of wood maybe). The other end of the shaft inside the tube angled against the wall, pushing on the bearing. Carefully pound similar to a steel post driver, a little bit, then move so it hits another area, like on the opposite side. And yes, replace both while out.

Hi
I did a 535 plain steel one ( not rubber coated) 3 weeks ago in a baler that lived outside most of it's life. The shaft was rusty and we couldn't move it in the bearings or get the bearing from the roller. I torch cut the balls out of both bearings then slid the shaft out and carefully cut the inners off the shaft. then did the same with the outer in the roll ends. cleaned the shaft and roller ends up with a wire wheel and it all went back together nice.

Only take a cutting torch to it if you know what to do with it, 25 years torch experience helps. cutting the outer from the roller is redneck brain surgery at it's finest level, as you don't want to mess the roller up. if you cut the balls out and its still tight welding round the inside of the outer race in the ball groove might shrink the outer enough to free it more, if your not confident cutting. The shaft is a little more forgiving for a slight nick. I think a roller and shaft is $1200 here in Canada, so thats a real good incentive to get it right.
