8 3/4 axle bearing removal question

I have never replaced axle bearings. Every time I did a bbp swap, I bought new axles and pressed on the bearings. I see guys grinding slots and chiseling the keeper and bearing apart. That seems like the hard way. I do have a 20 ton press. Can these axle bearings not just pressed off? I have a bearing splitter if this helps. But before I broke my splitter and bent something I figured I would ask.
