The "reversed axle as puller method" works, but you may need a spacer
between the axle and the housing or a puller to complete the extraction
of the bearings. You'll need a press to get the bearings out of the
hubs (and the new bearings in).
I warmed the hubs with new bearings in an oven before installing. I
also applied dry ice to the end of the housing, which caused the metal
to emit a loud humming noise, sounding almost like a large tuning fork.
I stopped, being afraid of altering the metal structure but was able to
tap the bearings on with an appropriately sized metal tube.
