Don't think it's very different from an ST.

Just drop the wheel out, then you'll see the bearings on each side of the wheel and a spacer tube that runs between them. The spacer tube has actually got fins around it to keep it centred in the hub which makes it difficult to ease out of the way so that you can get a drift behind the bearing, but it should have a slot in one end.

So, you can normally get a long screwdriver, put it through the wheelbearing on the opposite side of the slot in the spacer, get the blade into the slot and gently tap the wheelbearing out. You'll need to keep turning the slot on the spacer so that you don't skew the bearing and get it jammed (but if you do this you can always tap it back and start again)

Once one bearing is out the spacer tube will just slide out and give you a big target on the back of the second bearing.

When I did mine I knocked the bearing on the opposite side to the speedo drive out first, then turned my attention to the speedo drive (which was a bit fiddly to get out as I recall.

To replace the bearing, just seat it in the hub and tap it home with a hammer. Some people get a large enough socket to cover the outer race of the bearing, but I've managed it just by tapping the outer race directly (Just make sure you only hit the outer race of the bearing). You don't need brute force either, just a gentle tap should do, just make sure to tap evenly all round the circumference of the bearing so that it doesn't skew on the way in, and just tap it flush
