TW 190 main bearings

Hi

Put a small amount of pampas through the chipper last week. I know they don't like it, so I mixed it with other stuff and it wasn't a large quantity.  Anyway, a bit of it wrapped itself around the shaft. I actually had smoke coming out of the chute. 

Knocked it off. Cleaned it all off the shaft. Took a bit of doing, the flywheel was jammed at first. 

Anyway, I seem to have got away with it. But was thinking of changing the bearings anyway,  if I get a quiet period,  before Xmas. How hard is it to do? Any special tools needed. I take it, it's a 2 man job. I've got a bearing press  anything else not in your average Joe's tool box I might need? Thanks
