Either use a blind bearing puller kit with slide hammer, or make something to go behind the needle roller and drift them out, the new ones are carefully pressed in

I made a puller out of a penny washer. I cut the washer in half so it would drop in behind the bearing then put a smaller washer in behind. A long bolt (well machine screw technically as it was fully threaded) was put through. Then put a large socket on the other end, another penny washer and a nut. Tighten it all up and the bearing pulls out. It's a bit of a trial and error fiddle but it works.
