I am going to try to send pics of what it looks like, but it may take a while.

i was in fear of hurting the aluminum case, or even worse, bending the input shaft!
only a tefflon hammer was used, and it worked well. as for spliting the case... i've heard some horror stories about special tools being needed to put everything back into its place, so spliting the case was going to be the last option.
one thing i DID like about this all, is the new bearing has 8 balls! which means less space, and wont wear out as quick. *i hope*
thanks for the responces! i didnt think anything would come in too quick on the forum, with it being a holiday weekend. just had to scratch my head enough and stop thinking about the lake.
