Hi Phil
The roller bearing on the one side is simple to remove. Insert a drift through the wheel hub, tap the bearing out.
The needle roller on the other side is the troublesome one. Most folks end up cutting the bearing cage and prising it out. Be careful not to damage the hub if you go that route.
Usually the sprocket carrier bearing is perfectly OK and doesn't need replacing.
I presume you're doing this as preventative maintenance? Maybe hold off doing it in that case until you have more time to spare, just in case.
