Julian,
I have replaced them while the axles were on the car using two large
C-clamps as presses, but I wouldn't recommend it. It was really back
breaking, twisted difficult work, and in the end determined it was easier
(and I would have been less sore) to just take the whole assy off. At
least that way you can also replace/repair whatever else is wrong while you
have it off, and you also have the advantage of cleaning the old brake
fluid out during the bleeding, something that should be done at least every
other year anyway-
