I'm on the fence about replacing the bearings, I just thought that since I was this deep in, I should maybe change them out.
That puller set from Harbor Freight still requires a slide hammer, so I still have to get one of those.
Geez - nothing is ever easy.

It is radical, but it works. I've never had any luck with a slide hammer.
If you're pulling the pumpkin anyway, it opens up another option. With the pumpkin out of the way, you could square the end of a piece of 1/2" rebar, and drive each bearing out from the opposite end of the axle.
I doubt it's possible to do this with the pumpkin in place, but it might be. This diagram shows one possible method using rebar. You'll need a second person to hold the rebar in place against the bearing with a large screwdriver.
