i guess most of us know the fitting method:
freezer and over etc...
but if i want to replace the bearings, how do i remove them from the metal sleeves - without damaging the sleeves?
cheers

het them up and the sleeve will expand quicker than the bearing, then press the bearing out.

no they dont
the grease cover of the bearing says, HNBR+FE.
GM ones dont 
+ theres still swarf inside the sleeve, showing theyve been made, not just a sliced gm part lol
