Absolute bastard mate, pressed onto the prop.

Take the prop off and get it to an engineering shop

We did it on my Escos with no big problems. The problem was to take out the kind of circlip that holds it on the prop-shaft. Then some hammers helped

If the bearing is like Escos (which has the same as normal Sierra) it schouldn't be a HUUUGE problem. My mechanic + me we did it in 30 minutes or so and we never done that.
