The heat method works great, it can just be a little tricky. Sometimes the bearing will get cocked in the bore and get stuck. If you have an exhaust spring tool and/or something to use as a punch they will come in handy to knock or pull out a stubborn bearing. Try to knock them out without using such tools first. If you get the case hot enough the new bearings will usually drop right in.
