Arrow Ring and pinion change - bearing kits?

i got a 4.44 gear recently, but i need to find myself a bearing kit to install it, if there is such a thing. is there a nice, neat packaged, kit to install the ring and pinion? or am i going to be looking at the parts explosion on the dealer screen for 45 minutes?

As long as the bearings and the rest meet the specs or are in good shape, no need to change it. Ask PJ if he can do it for you.

im probably going to ask pete anyhow for help, but i doubt that the 150,000 mile bearings are going to be good enough to reuse.
