I know that there should be a tight fit with the gears, but is it possible to pop them out by hand or are they usually grab on for dear life kind of tight ?

You do not want the gears moving on the bearing. If that gear gets tilted it will now not be the correct center distance through the entire gear and won't run right. Coming from vex they are usually held in with retaining compound, and if you have to replace them it would be a good idea to use retaining compound to hold the new bearing in. We had to use a press to remove the bearings, and you really don't want to be able to do it by hand.
