30-2/30T - rudder bearing removal and replacement?

Rudder failed tolerance test, so I dropped it. Need to pull the bearings but aside from cutting them out, I don't see a way forward. Lower bearing rests on a lip of glass and while it doesn't rotate freely, it does wiggle in place a bit, so it's not epoxied.

Can't get upper bearing to move with my fingers, so not sure what's what with that.

Do I just trim the hole back, replace bearing, and glass a new 'shelf' in place?

Thanks for any help.
