You don't want to directly hit the new ones with a hammer, so can use the old ones over the top and hit them instead. When you get the new one's, put the outer headstock race in the freezer overnight and then they will shrink a bit and be easier to knock into place. An angle grinder works a treat to help remove the old bearing off the steering stem. A combination of heat from cutting and cutting it off, and it will slide straight off before you even cut right through it. If you have a bit of metal tube or copper pipe slightly larger than the steering stem, this will work well to squarely knock the new bearing down into place.
