I'll bet the old bearing doesn't need replacing.

VERY Wet toilet paper hammered in with a plug to keep the TP from flying back out the pilot hole.

I agree. I find that hammering in small pieces of wet paper towel workes better than grease.

Use a small socket extension.
Yep its cleaner than grease.
You will be in disbelief how much soggy toilet paper it takes to push the bearing out. But it does work.
