Just did that yesterday.
I didn't need a press after the axle is pushed out. Fitment of the outer race to upright is not super tight. Just pushed the spacer aside and used a chisel and a hammer to tap them out.

The bearings are designed to be a press fit in the upright, so it's possible your uprights are worn or a bearing spun in them previously, it's not that uncommon.
