Got the bearings out , they were not a tight fit in the housing , but it took a reasonable amount of force using a puller to get them out. Because the housing is not held down, when using a slide hammer , the housing just moved along the floor !
I used bits from a bearing puller kit , I made a adapter up with a 5/8 unf thread one end and a 3/4 unf female thread the other end.
The bearings seem to be in good shape. The modern replacement seal appears to be a SKF 18695 .
