Removed the deck and took the belt off then removed the blade and knocked the old spindle out. I then used the air hammer to remove the outer race of the bad bearing. Put spacers and new spindle in and put the pulley and blade back on and reattached the deck to the lawnmower and checked and leveled the deck.
