I still think you should replace the whole head if the bearings are worn out and it has more than 450k miles on it. Replacing just the bearings is asking for more trouble down the road.

YES, you need special hydraulic pressing tools to replace them. They have to be pressed in and out.

Highly skilled mechanic doesn't need special hydraulic pressing tools to replace them.
I said it before, and I'll say it again .
..... Even the best tool in the hands of a man good for nothing is just a piece of metal !!!....

I guess Rawze is saying what he's saying just to keep you on the safe side and out of trouble.
Not everybody have the skills to do that . Other doesn't have guts ...
