Fairly easy. Drift them out and then use the old bearing shell (or socket) to carefully drift the new ones back in. Its not ideal, a press is better if you can get hold of one, but you can easily make up a set of draw bolts using threaded rod, nuts washers and two lengths of steel tube the correct diameter (one slightly smaller and one slightly larger than the bearing).
