does the upper steering columb need to be removed to change the bottom bearing? if so how hard is it to take out? Is it possible to put the exisiting one back in it seems to have dropped down and is loose...

It's been such a long time since I did it I can't remember the ins and outs. You at least have to drop the upper part. Personally if I was doing the job I'd just replace the 2, it's not as big a job as the pictures make out.

When the bearings wear out they can fall down from inside the rubber bush and end up at the bottom of the column.
