ncapener is on a distinguished road
I did my cutlass bearing a month ago.
Similar, but less involved than sabreman's procedure.
I had one setscrew (hard to find under the layers of paint) to remove.
Borrowed a cordless sawzall to make three cuts (30 seconds per cut) and removed the bearing.
Cleaned the tube and installed new bearing with a block of wood and large hammer.
Not much to it really. I have never seen the bottom of my boat before or a cutlass bearing and including shaft removal and re-installation I was done in 4 hrs.
