Simplest way to replace T/O bearing on slider

Barner's,
I am wondering what is the most practical way to replace the throw out bearing on the slider. Transmission is out, so access is not the question. I understand these are "press fit," so the question is how do you remove the old one and install the new one? Hydraulic press for install perhaps, but removal?
Thanks
 
Press off the old one, press on the new one. Take extra care and use the right equipment for a successful swap.

Better yet, take it to a repair shop or machine shop that has the experience with the procedure and have them do it.
 
I used a three arm puller to grab the OD of the bearing and a disk from my bearing seat set to push on the hub casting at the ID of the bearing and the bearing came right off. I would not reuse a bearing loaded that way so if you are putting in a new one it is a non issue. To put the bearing on I used two more disks from the bearing seat set and a 1/2-20 x 5” long bolt. The bearing started on the housing by hand and the hardware, tightened slowly, worked well. A press is another option but you still have to support the parts to make the bearing move without damaging things.
I hope this helps.
