Amy, the bearing is sandwiched between the two bearing flanges which are held together and to the auger housing with those three carriage bolts, so yes, the three bolts need to come out. It might help you if you can see the separate bearing and flange parts, so here's a link to a photo of the bearing, locking collar and the two bearing flanges that are available from CC Specialties.
Ok,so I had to end up removing the auger,this picture you showed me of the bearing apart is similar but it has 3 pins in the flanges ? I tried to use a chisel an hammer to separate the flanges an its not budging?Also on the drive end where the large sprocket is mounted,there is a metal piece welded to the shaft...how do I get the hub bearing off with that welded on ? Do I pull the bolts out on the auger an remove the shaft?
