I will second Ohiojum: I have pretty good luck with heating them while forcing new grease into them. Use a propane torch it will not over heat the bearing as quick. I deal with a lot of bearing that are in corrosive environments.
Also use a real good grease. I like the poly-urea grease for bearings. There are several different brands that are good. The main thing is as the grease is sued up the polyuria has fewer base solids left behind. There fore it does not turn hard as quick as many other greases. The first place I used it was on JD tractors( JD TY6341 list $4.95 I by it for right at $4 a tube). The rear axle bearings are supposed to use this grease. I then started using it on my 4wd pickup's front end ujoints. I found that the life was greatly extended using this type of grease. About 15 year ago I started using it everywhere that had things that rotated. It works great in these applications. I have cut my failed bearings by a large percentage.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule.
