I dont know for sure but they are probably pressed on and a shop will have to replace them.

The Haynes Manuale says they come off but now how they come off. So i dont think thier pressed

If you have access to liquid nitrogen, you might be able to freeze the shaft and pop it off. Then to put it on freeze the shaft and put some heat to the bearing, and it should slide right on. My dad uses it all the time to do bearings of various sizes.

Is it possible to use a 2 or 3 arm gear puller to get them off?

Me - I'd use a bearing splitter on my 12 ton shop press - and hope it was big enough
