i sprayed penetrating oil on it then I used heat and a slide hammer with a wheel flange attached to pull hub out. Then I used a large, 32 or 33MM impact socket at the back and hammer to tap the bearing out. Worked well on one but on the other the bearing came apart when pulling the hub out leaving me with the outer race fused to the trailing arm. after tapping at it with a hammer and drift I realized that I needed to get even distribution of force on it... I then took a wheel stud (which i had since i was swapping to turbo length) I threaded an open nut on it and inserted it vertically inside the race and un-threaded or loosed the nut until the nut and bolt became tall enough to wedge itself inside the race, then i used a hammer to tap on the middle of the bolt/nut (from the back) and it allowed the race to come out.
freeze the new bearings, use bearing grease inside trailing arm and slide in, mine required some very light tapping all around, around and around and around (on outer race only) to get it in.
take your time, its not that bad.
