A good sharp chisel with the other side of the lock ring on a hard surface it will split. If the bearings are good and smooth and the seals for the bearings (on both sides of the bearing itself)are good, If NOS are not available I would certainly leave the ones that already there. Good bearings will not hold the grease if the seals are bad, the grease leaks around the bearings. Just my 2 cents.
