Don't forget the old dry ice and your wife's blow dryer. Put the shaft in a container with dry ice and heat the bearing with the blow dryer. Remember not to cook out the lubricants (most hair dryers are not hot enough). I have had a lot of success with this technique.

No indications on the tires as to size. I used a fiber glass tape and the o.d. was 33 inches. I believe that would be too much expansion even for urethane.
