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.
