Removal is a drama, placement well to do.

The tool for insertion is very straightforward. This is doable with this tool even for someone with two left hands. Be careful not to turn the bearings the deep. Removing a pressed-in bearing is a bit more difficult. The tool damages the side of the bearing, making it unusable. There is also a risk of driving the second cup out crookedly, as there is no cenctre ring for the extruder included. The three pallets of the 24mm extruder, work if they stay in place properly. Tip to keep the 3 pallets together is to double wrap a thicker rubber o-ring around them. This will hold things together better. Another tip, don't drive the first cup out completely straight away, and use it as a centring ring for the second one. In short, I managed to replace firmly stuck bearings with this tool, provided damage to the inside of the cups (24 mm). However, if you want to use the tool to do a thorough cleaning and reuse the bearings, I do not recommend this way of extruding a bearing....
