Funny you should post this. See the thread on the dripless packing in the maintenance area. I think m3fan put some of these new bearings in, and I'm looking into as well.

I installed the old brass type yesterday. Rick at skidim told me not to go with the EXP. I removed and installed new ones in about an hour.I built a puller so that I wouldn't have to remove the shaft, removed the prop, pulled old one out and pressed in new ones ready to go.
