I spent about an hour trying to get those bl@@dy things out. Should be
easy, but it wasnt & I ended up taking the wheel to a dealer to remove
them.

The spacer between the bearings has 2 small U-shaped cutouts at one end. If
you had an expandable puller to hook into these, you could pull that side
bearing out with a slide hammer, then press out the other side.

I tried the usual method, using a large punch through the wheel to push the
bearing out, but even using the cutouts it wouldnt budge. Maybe it was just
a tight fit.
