I just did the bearings on one of my TR7's. The axle needs to be tapped out.
I used a slide hammer with a lug adapter but the repair manual talks about
remounting the brake drum backwards and hitting it with a rubber mallet.
The bearings will need a press as the retaining rings need 3 tons of force to
seat correctly. They recommend drilling the old retainers across in a line to
weaken them and then splitting with a cold chisel.
