Is it the usual heat/cold and that's about it? Other options? Obviously I don't want to screw up the case surfaces with anything too radical. The bearing isn't terrible but since the fly side is trash I would prefer to replace the pair.

Then retighten before you reinstall the new bearing. Positive
