I once removed a bearing using bread aswell (go youtube it) just to try it :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

And wheel bearings I used a heat gun and then an aluminum drift I think. Might've even been timber actually. If you get the hubs warm enough then they don't need much encouragement at all. You can also freeze your bearings for 24 hours before fitting.

200 degrees, bearings drop straight in.
