The bearings are replaceable.
They do have a tight fit on the pivot shaft.
I removed the snap rings on the inner side of the idler wheel, pulled the idler wheel off and I used a 3 jaw puller to remove the bearing from the pivot shaft

That will work fine but make sure that you keep the bolt in the end of the shaft or you may distort the threads giving you another problem.

I forgot to add that i ended up using a spare stud to protect the threads. Put it right in there and the puller tip fit right into the allen head on the back of the stud.
Don't forget to use something, bolt, stud, etc to protect the aluminum pivot shaft.

The way I get them off is to put the skid on its side on a table, with the shaft hanging over the side of the table. Then hit the shaft with a rubber malt and pound the shaft out. Then trun the skid over and do it again.

I had a hell of a time doing this when I sent out my suspension arms for the beef up kit... I think I ended up using APEX 06s idea...
