    You can either drive them out with a brass drift punch from the opposite side or get a bearing puller.The new ones can be drove in with a socket that is the same size as the outer race.

    Go to - Products - Tools - Bearing Retainer Removal and Installation Tools - Bearing removal Sets
    Measure the inside diameter of the bearing (axle diameter).

    Take the rim into a shop and have it done because by the time you buy the tool to remove them and install new bearings it would be cheaper to have a shop to do it.

    Something you did not think about, you may not be able to get bearings with proper OD for your new wheel, and which fit your axle. Be sure to check this first.
