Hans.....each to they're own but i put the wheel down on the ground chocked up on wood so the cast does not get damaged and so the center hub is off the floor... i then put a steel bar through the wheel from the top and knock the bearing on the bottom out...then flip the wheel and do the same.......give the wheel a good clean before the new bearing goes in.
to put the bearings back in i use a thick length of stud bar and two flat plates which are the right diameter for the bearing and to fit inside the hub.......you then wind two nuts on each end and tighten them up so they squeeze the bearings into the hub.....voila
