I found the easiest way is to grind off the bit of the nut that is folded
in, otherwise it can damage the end of the thread on the axle. Then hammer
the axle (with nut 3/4 on end of the axle, so not to damage thread) all the
way through. Then use chisel or similar to get the bearings out, tapping
opposite sides so bearing comes out straight.
Done it a few times and seems to work. Are you doing it on or off the car?
Bearing in same way but be REALLY careful not to slip and punch a hole
through seal.

Subject: Rear Axle Bearings
Hey all,
I'm in the process of removing and replacing my rear axle bearings. I have
gotten the lock nut off:) are there any hints and tips to removing the
bearings? My workshop manual says to use a "suitable drift" to get the
inside bearing off. Is that what you guys have done?
Thanks,
