That can be pretty tricky. I would just go buy a new one and have someone who is certified to do A/C systems install it and recharge the system. The fine is pretty steep should you inadvertantly vent any refrigerant into the atmosphere or let any dribble on the ground. I hope this helps.

Suggested Repair

Replace the A/C compressor rather than servicing the bearing alone, and have a certified A/C technician install it and recharge the system to avoid illegal refrigerant release.
