It has been so long since I changed out one of those and I sure don't miss changing them out, I think I used to put the hanger bearing in the freezer overnight then install it on the DS the next day. I am sure others will chime in soon enough with tips.

did you clean up the shaft with sandpaper? and did it just slide on or did you need to hammer it on?

Most deff clean up the shaft using whatever you have on hand. Most just slid on but others were just a royal pita to deal with.
