These bearings are pressed into the wheel hub using a hydraulic press capable of exerting 10 tons of pressure. Its possible to bash them out with a hammer and drift but the chances are that things will be damaged, so get a garage to do it. You could save cash if you could take them the hub complete, if you could take it out of the car yourself.
