Has anyone done this? I assume it's possible to drift out both bearings along with the spacer tube in one hit? Have twatted it pretty hard already but they don't seem to be shifting. Any tips (apart from taking it to the LBS 
)? Tools are limited to a few large hammers, lots of sockets and lengths of rod suitable for drifts. No bearing pullers etc...

IIRC you have to drift them out from the inside as there is a step in the hub to seat the bearings against - using a drift knock the spacer tube to one side then drift the bearings out from the inside
heat the hub ( rag wrapped round plus hot water) to make life easier. Freeze the new bearings

The bearings come out of each side. To do this inset a screwdriver and lever the centre tube to one side, and then tap the bearing from the inside, you'll probably have to move the tube round a bit and tap the bearing from all sides, evenly.
Once one bearing is out, out comes the tube and tap the other bearing out from the inside.
Easy peasy.
