Yup. Tap axle out straight as you can through the old bearings. The worm gear will come right off in the frame. Might as well order a new worm gear. When you press the new bearings on they don't get seated all the way home. Leave about 3/32" of it sticking out of the frame. This will limit the side to side motion of the wheel/axle assembly . The new bearings will need to be drilled/reamed to the right diameter or the axles will fit way too tight. Pressing the bearings closes their inner diameter ever so slightly. A good 3/32" spacer is a large washer of that thickness. Place washer over bearing after you start pushing it into the hole. Seat till it stops and you have perfect spacing .
