Here is how I change my brushless motor bearings using a bolt and some washers. The end result is perfectly installed bearings just like you would have if you used an expensive press.
When choosing a bolt, make sure you get a metric bolt that is the same thickness as your motor shaft. For example my shaft was 3mm thick so the bolt I used was a M3 metric bolt. The length of the bolt will depend on your motor. For most 2204 to 2206 motors the length will be either a M3x30mm or M3x35mm bolt.
