I apologize if this info is posted somewhere. How do you replace the bearings on the Astoria lever?

Get a small bearing puller and pull them off. They're on pretty snug.

Great, thanks for the info. How do you get the new ones back on w/o damaging them? :D

Get a socket with the same diameter as the inner bearing ring and use a hammer to tap the socket to press the bearing on. Use some type of lube.
