I bought new bearings last week and stumbled across this thread while trying to find out if I needed specific tools to extract and replace them. Happy to find the answer was no and that it was all very straightforward. More +rep for @Vince.
Old bearings must've been really fucked. Even with the wheel removed from the frame and everything taken off the axle the play was still obvious. All feels rock solid now.
