Hi Solman
Yes there are 2 bearings in that part which sit inside where the blade goes on the shaft. There is a spring clip on the inside that needs to be squeezed inwards to remove the clip to allow access for the bearings to be removed. The bearings can be tapped out with care from the opposite end once the clip is removed but you need to be carefully not to crack the cast aluminium by using to much force. I can't remember the bearing numbers off hand but if you look through my thread on my edger restoration I have made reference of the bearing numbers otherwise the numbers are stamped on the side of the bearing.
As to installing the new bearings I placed the bearing in position with a small amount of grease around the bearing socket and used a timber padded carpenters vice to squeezed the bearings in. Verry quick and easy using the vice. There's also a third bearing on the belt tensioner as well which is the same size as the other two in the blade shaft.
Cheers
