Are there any tools other than tapping them out with a hammer? There are some cool tools for removing headsets and bottom brackets. I need to replace the bearings in a set of Corsa wheels and I would prefer to have the proper tools.

I have a nice long brass drift I tap them out with.

Find a bearing puller. Best tool available for pulling bearings!
They might even lend you one at Autozone.

Can you press them back in with a bearing press?

bearing driver, or threaded road and washers have worked for me in the past. Tap tap with a brass hammer, and a socket in a pinch. They're little bearings, and shouldn't be that tight.

I have the King service tool set for my King hubs. I got the hubs as an excuse to buy the service tool, pure tool sex . Everything else gets beaten with a hammer and a chunk of nylon.

That is a sexy tool!

I have made a few Delrin drivers in the past, I have seal drivers for all the Audi output seals I've made as well as some factory tools.

a blind bearing puller might work with your bearings but it also might remove just the inner portion and the ball bearings

Seriously though-
Wheels Manufacturing makes a great puller for the bike world.
I bet it costs less than $60 retail too.
I like tools.

More like $150 on sale (although it looks like great craftsmanship). I grabbed a slide hammer blind puller at the recommendations of a local wheel manufacturer. Wheels Manufacturing makes great looks tools, but right now I don't have the coin to throw down when they are 2-3 times the price of other solutions. Maybe later in life.
