are the bearings in a PTO clutch replaceable on a 17hp Kawasaki?

Looking to pull the bearings out and replace them instead of buying a whole new clutch

Update:

To M.... It's off a great dane mower. I fingered it out though. i knew i could replace them the problem is the the way the press the top on in and force the material around the bearing after it is pressed in. id have to possibly spot weld it into place or i was wondering if a spacer would be enough to hole it into place. it has the draw bolt on the end of the shaft holding this into place and if the spacer was machined right not to put too much pressure on the bearing id think id be fine.

    The PTO clutch is not part of the engine and is not supplied by Kawasaki. You'd have to tell us what make of mower you have, they are the ones who supply the PTO clutch.

    However, to answer the question if the bearings are replaceable, it will depend on the make, but my guess is that they are.
