    need to press the bearing out take it to a garage with a press, shouldnt be too explensive as you have stripped it already.

    if you take both cases they should do it there and then, some bearings can be stupidly tight. my 406 coupe wheel bearing took 10 tonnes of pressure to crack!! this may sound silly but have you tried to heat the case in the oven? getting the metals to expand slightly might help. if i remember correctly ali expands quicker than steel

    thats ok if you do have a go at heating it yourself remember ali melts at half the temp of steel

    we just use a heat gun at work, heat it up around the bearing, and keep spraying it with penetrating oil, then just tap it out, then put your new bits in while its hot (or let it cool clean it then put your new stuff in)
