Any update on the bearing change? The prong should be wacked by wood i guess. The reason is that side has a wider head and will not go when tapped from there, so the force needs to be applied from the prong.
Axle on the threaded end to push it through. Once out he heat the bearing with a blow torch the theory being the aluminium expands more than steel and the bearing should pop out. As the steel keeping the balls in the bearing had already worn away the balls and inner bearing sleeve just popped out leaving the outer sleeve still in. Note that there is a sleeve which the axle goes through in between the two bearings so remove that too. Next we moved to the other bearing with the blow torch but it wouldn't pop so while still hot he used a hammer and angled screw driver to hammer it out while still hot. Then we did the same to the outer bearing sleeve remaining on the first bearing/side. Once both bearings are out, put a new bearing in the non-brake (non threaded axle) end then the sleeve and the axle. Now put the remaining bearing over the axle and use the hammer and screw driver to get the bearing fully seated. Now you can put the wheel back on (reversing the OP's removal steps) and you're done. Big THANKS to the OP for the original video as I wouldn't have even tried to do this myself without it. Thanks!!!
Interesting video :)

I had to replace the bearings in the front wheel of my ox and enlisted the help of a mechanic mate as I'm a total noob. He knocked/ hammered the able
