A local autoparts store may have a press to remove axle bearing for a couple
of bucks

The special tools that i use to remove axle bearings and retainers are; a
LARGE hammer, a cold chisel, and safety glasses. I have my assistant hold
the axle so that the retainer is on the vise anvil, then position the chisel
on the retainer, then I whlop the chisel as hard as can. If the ring
doesn't split it'll loosen enough so that you can slide it off of the axle.
The bearing can be dealt with in the same way. The steel is very hard so it
is also very brittle, like glass. Hence the safety glasses.

had to take them to some local jeep experts to get them to remove the
bearing retainers. (hey you need special tools for that stuff!)
