I've done two of these so far. You can get by without the bearing press. Some appropriate size oak blocks and a hammer will do the trick to get the bearings off. They are not on that tight. I had a problem with one of the main steering shafts. That's the part that the big bottom seal runs on and also is the part that the lower front bolster that holds the wheels bolts to. The shaft had a groove worn in it and I was afraid the new seal would leak as a result. I tried to get a machine shop to fix it for me, but they wanted nearly $200 to turn it down and make a collar and rework it. I ended up gettin a speedy sleeve for it. That was a bit tricky, as the installation tool that came with the sleeve was not deep enough. I made a tool to install the sleeve using PVC pipe. Put the shaft piece in the freezer overnight and then plenty of lubricant and the sleeve went on easily. That's been two years ago, and no leaks yet as far as I know. That tractor is in regular service at a rabbit farming operation pulling a manure spreader.
