Pressed in my friend. U might be able to use a big hammer & punch them out w/ a seal installer of correct size, but i recommend against this

Your going to need a press and clamp to get the inner race off the hub once you get the hub out with a slide hammer. Then you'll need a puller to pull the hub back into the new bearings once there in.
