When replacing the left side CV axle (short) I broke the transfer case bearing. I think that is what it is called. How do I replace this bearing?

When extracting tne seal my tool caught the lip of the bearing and it broke. The small bearings fell out and it needs to be replaced. What is the best way to do the replacement?

The smartest thing you can do right now is have it towed too a transmission shop because your venturing into an area that you can get into a lot more trouble than your in now.
