Hello, did this job beginning of this year during an engine rebuild, and I can tell you it is not easy and no tools available to buy. In best case you know somebody with an lathe who can do some “pressure pieces” to press the bearings out and in. Unfortunately, all five bearings have different diameters. Good luck

As said no tools readily available and you do need tooling.
Best to take it to a local engine machinist to get them done.
