Top nut on top of triple or top ring nut? Remove steering assembly to get to top nut with breaker bar
 
Once you have the triple out the top is easy to change but the bottom is difficult. Usually you need to weld a bead onto the bottom race and drive it out while it is still warm (hit the newly formed bead you welded on the surface of the race).

The upper race can be driven out from the bottom with no problems usually.

The upper bearing is a simple swap with no tools but the lower bearing is pressed onto the steering stem.
