Oh I'm so sorry! I have a little dyslexia at times, I put the column in my vise use the flat blade screwdriver and a small Hammer tapped all the way around it until it came out, then just pressed out the old bearing it actually came out very easily the new bearing I put it on my hydraulic press but was a little nervous about putting too much pressure on it that's to not break the plastic I used to heat gun and it went down all the way well under pressure.

Not to use excuses but cell phones are not the best to try to answer post when your old as dirt. 

No worries, thanks! Richard was trying to remember how he removed his (he said the same thing, tapped it out with a screwdriver) and I just figured I would see if someone else had removed it and came across this thread. Appreciate the help.
