Nope. Ideally you need a press.

Only done em on a 410, if they are similar then ideally a press is good, otherwise an angle grinder and metal chisel will get em off and some scaffolding bar and some force will put em back. Don't clamp the bearing in a vice and hit the half shaft though to get em off, can damage the teeth at the end doing that!
