Yes, bearings and races become one, as you and yours. You could have old race taken off, the new pressed on and do the rest yourself. Anyways, you buy them as a set. Wouldn't be expensive, find a local guy look at his shop ask about his work. Plenty of talent out there. You will get screwed at the dealer.

How do your seals look, losing oil?. Be careful with the bearing, needs to be straight and true, quality grease, I'm sure you can do it.
