online videos were clear about multi-step process. Only real problem came when I removed the retaining ring (which required special tool ($60.) Ring flew off into the recesses of my messy shop! Now I'm waiting for the new ring ($10 w shipping) to show up.

Either it was the wrong size or there were multiple bearings as this one was smaller than the one I could see so I left the old one in there.

Replacing the shoe base wasn’t too difficult but the trick is to remove the licking arm the holds the adjusting nut in place. It is done easily with a Phillips screwdriver but it is not obvious that it needs to be removed first.

Removed the old shoe replaced with new one. Checked all adjustments, it worked well with only minor adjustments to tensions and widths.
Had to remove the blade to get to the nut that holds the depth adjustment, after that everything went easily.
