These bearings are pressed into a metal sleeve that the outer tub is molded around. After a good cleaning and soaking with penetrating oil they come out pretty easily. I have done 2 of these and it works. Here is a link that has a great video clip on the whole process. The $350 tool this guy came up with is very cool and I would have one if I ran into this more often.

I'm not sure where you came up with the bearing part numbers, 22002934 looks like the front one but I'm not sure.  22003441 radial bearing doesn't look right nor match the description.  You can match up the bearings at your local bearing supplier for roughly $25 a piece. The seal kit is 12002022

Being cheap and resourceful, I beat the rear bearing out using a piece of 1" black pipe inserted from the inside then did the same as they show on the video for the inner bearing. After a good clean up, using a threaded rod (like the tool), some large washers, and the old bearings(to prevent damage to the new ones) - you can set the new bearings in place. Good luck.
