For the rears, slide hammer to pull the hub off the old bearing then cut a notch in the race that stays behind to pull off the hub.

Bearing press kit the best way to push the hub onto the new bearing but you can use as large screw and find some metal rings or maybe PVC pipe connectors just the right size. I was thinking a large pipe flange like people use to make handrails and at least 3/4 greased up bolt but 7/8 or 1" is better.

Don't make the mistake lots of DIY do and hammer the hub on. If you impact the outer race you might as well start over.

My favorite part of my diy is the slot in the tip of the bolts to snug them with a long flat screwdriver bit.
