two distint issues here...
1) - getting the flange out of the bearing - this is a press job, should not take too much load if doen right, but a 5 tonne press is essential.
2) - getting the bearing out of the upright, with the Ali uprights, heat them to ~200C first, then it's way easyer to push it out, same goes for re-fitting, replace on the the C clips, then heat the upright, then drop the bearing in, normally they will fall in, somethings a rubber mallet is needed just to make sure.
the steel uprights on latter cars (S1) just requite brute force with a press, heating helps, but not to the same extent as ali (different expansion rates)
