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.

Yeah I hear you Rawze. I did hear you say something like that in your engine rebuild video. That 700,000 may be a good time to replace the head if it where a maintenance thing to do.
