robin rear wheel bearing replacement

Hi could some one tell me how i go about changing a rear wheel bearing without a bearing press. I have the half shaft out as i had a oil leak and found play in the bearing so as its all off i what to change the bearing and seal. Thanks

I did find this quote in another thread

The bearings are press fitted, so a bit of brute force and a hammer and drift are needed to get them out..along with a propane gas torch...

I used to split bearings at work using a small angle grinder to nibble away at the inner race after splitting the outer with the grinder.
I'd grind off enough to leave a small area then a tap with a hammer would normally split the inner race.
