I think the OP has moved on, but for others' sake I'll comment on the bearing advice above. Never remove an engine bearing and then reinstall it. The removal process is likely to damage either the balls or the races of the bearing, rendering it useless. If a pilot thinks a bearing is glued up with varnish, a good fuel soak, crock pot cleaning, and/or heat will loosen it up without needing to remove it.
