You need a slide hammer with bearing puller jaw and a bearing driver. You can rent both at autozone for free. Don't waste your time trying to do it without the right tools.

The bearings usually fly apart into little pieces when you pull them out so stuff a few paper towels down the tube to keep all the pieces from getting into the rear end.
