Should be able to do it with a chisel/screwdriver and just chap out the races that way and use the old races to put the new ones in. So yeah you shouldnt need a press for the rears.

If doing it this way, use wood.

Wood is softer than metal so no hub damage, bearings will come out with a few whacks and you should be able to get them in. Its the way I did it on my polo.

Ignore my idea, get the wood, make sure its hard as metal. Leave the bearing, no one cares about fords especially a KA. Find the fit bird and bang her with the wood  :wink:
