    Having looked at your picture it looks like you can't replace it. However on the quickrack pinion there's no pressed/welded/machined lip or whatever it is, so you could potentially look to cut/machine that off (although I wouldn't fancy hacking the pinion about myself)

    Was a ball ache. Guide says remove collar with magnet. It took lots of bashing and swearing to remove it when we did mine.

    I couldnt move it at all, with a press. Then hammer and chisel.
    I'm guessing the quick rack one is just a press fit.

    What? No chance a magnet would move it, a 3ton press wouldn't move it.

    No collar on the quick rack (did it a few weeks ago)
    I was also trying to get it off the original to have a spare with new bearing but no luck either getting it off... I heated it up o the point that the grease ran out of the bearing...
    But I can try tonight to see after some cutting and let you know what it looks like

    Can't seem to get it off without damaging the pinion. My guess it's heat schrinked or something...

    So to conclude the bearing isn't a replaceable item on a standard rack!
