Whats the best method to replace a bearing in the extruder assembly?

I was doing some general maintenance on my printer today since I couldn't fall back to sleep and noticed that I had some grooves worn into one of my rods. I got a replacement coming but I am going to replace the bearing as well just to be safe that it isn't bad. I am just not sure what the best approach at getting to it with out tearing apart the extruder assembly to get to it.

The linear bearings are secured by the X axis rear panel and zip ties.

There is no easy way to change them
