But freezing bearings works well if you're quick, small ones heat back up quickly once in your hand.
If you're likely to be changing bearings more often, it's really worth investing in either the proper drifts (under a tenner each, but not super necessary if you can line up the old bearing well) and at minimum some threaded rod and nuts as a makeshift bearing press.
