Only if you have a big vice to push them in with as you cannot knock them with a big hammer, you will wreck them, if you are not equipped then a garage is your best option

you can knock out the old bearing races and use a socket that is a little smaller than the new race to knock them back in with i do this and have not had one go wrong on me yet hope this helps
