I suppose you could use the hammer and punch bearing removal and hammer and big socket replacement techniques but I'm not sure I'd want to do that.
Yeah new BB's aren't that expensive but the OP already has the old bearings out of the cups. Just throw the cups in some boiling water for about 10mins and put the new bearings in the freezer for a few hours beforehand and they go in without too much effort, no expensive tools needed.
