The spacer is easy to remove. Drill a hole in the side of it. Go at least 3/4 of the way through it (don't go so deep that you hit the axle). Use a flat chisel across the hole and give it a good hit with a hammer. The spacer will crack and then you can slide it off.
Although it's not the ideal way to do it you can use an air chisel to take the old bearing off. Put the flat chisel against the race and drive it off. You can reassemble it in a vise if you don't have access to a press. Slide the pieces on and use the jaws of the vise to support the bearing and use a hammer to drive it together.
