[Santana 22] Rudder bearings

Hi All,

I have a question to the fleet regarding rudder bearings. I recently dropped
the rudder out on my S22 #454, as there is a large amount of play in the
rudder.  I was under the impression that Santana 22¹s did not have any
rudder bearings (other than a fiberglass tube). I found that my boat has
bronze rudder bearings and they are quite worn. I have two questions:

1. Does anyone have any experience or good ideas on removing these bearings?
2. Are replacement bearings available anywhere?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Erik
