I've used a wooden dowel rod. Find/make a wooden dowel rod that "just" fits inside the bearing. Almost an interference fit. Put some axle grease in the hole the shaft would fit in, fill it. The take the dowel and tap in with a hammer. The bearing will start to move out. Put more grease in, and repeat. Soon you will have the bearing on the dowel.
