having trouble removing the bearimg inside the facer.. any tips?

Remove the four machine screws from the blad holder. Once the blade holders come off, Remove the retaining ring (item 21). If you need to tap it from the bottom side, rotate the chain until you can remove the master link. Remove the bottom sprocket (item 24). and then tap using a brass punch. Work the punch around the circumference of the bearing until it pops out.
When installing the new bearing, make sure that you do not get it into a bind.

Per print, there isn't any locking compound used.

Hope this helps!
