I found this online. I've never personally tried this method but i know others have so it's up to you

I would use Mother's Oven; set at around 400*F/200*C
We want to EXPAND the hub, SHRINK the bearing as much as possible, to allow easy location.
But, in cooking we OFTEN get the oven HOT/UP to TEMP, FIRST.
Here, we want to EVENLY, progressively expand the hub.
So, HUB into COLD OVEN, and allow heat to build.
Will take time. Monitor thermostat for progress, up to temperature.
And Bearing? Into the fridge. Overnight.
And also the pliers which you are going to handle it with. So that we minimise added heat, at installation time.
Good luck to those who read this.
