You need a press ideally, or a local shop should do it for a fiver as it's easy with a press.
I've seen 7 tonnes on a bearing before to press it in and out. So it's not easy.
Another bodges way is to weld a ring around the inside of the old bearing shell, when it shrinks so does the bearing and it makes it easier to hammer out.
Then put the hub in the oven, or heat it up with a heat gun or something, and the bearing in the freezer, and hammer it in with a big socket.
