You should never impact a bearing through the rolling elements as Bob and others have said. It's a big no-no and one that will get you fired if you work with large machinery for a living. I've been through enough SKF sponsored bearing classes to know that much. Pounding on races only using the correct driver is OK if done correctly. That means driving an outer race into a hub would be OK. Driving an inner race onto and axle spline would be OK. Driving an axle out of a hub holding the outer race...not OK. That being said, I always drove my axle shafts out using a BFH and a oak block to cushion the blow. I had a heck of a time driving them out if they had that goo on the splines. I have had wheel bearing failures after the fact, although I can't definitively attribute the failure to driving them out. I'm sure it didn't help. I finally bought a puller from eeuro. Very inexpensive, universal, and frankly, a lot easier. Use a puller.
