You will need to buy or borrow a puller set. Sykes Pickavant do a good mixed set and would probably recommend the puller which fits around the whole of the outer race to minimise potential damage to the bearing. To be honest, your best bet would be to invest in 2 new diff bearings (£23 ex vat - minispares) and then, you will not have to worry if you damage a bearing removing it.

The best method of removing them is with a puller of the following design...
