If I remember correctly, there are two bearings on the sprocket side, and a circlip retainer on the brake side. Remove the circlip and tap out the brake side bearing using a drift inserted from the sprocket side, and the center spacer will fall out. Then tap out the two bearings on the sprocket side from the brake side. I recommend searching youtube for demonstrations before you get in too deep, jut to make sure that you are going the right direction.
Use a heat gun/hair dryer/propane torch (with caution) to warm the hub before removing the bearings. A little heat helps a lot.
Before you go to install your new bearings, put them in the freezer over night so they shrink a touch. Then warm up the hub just before installation and they should slide in (or go in with a couple of taps). Again, youtube for demonstrations.
Good luck!
