Rear barngs are piece of piss even with amiture tool as the clever german chaps have left a channel 2 tap the old bearings out with a scrw driver ( unlike fords or vauxhals ive worked on) then just tap the new ones in with the old, gotta start some where m8 and u cant realy go wrong with the rear ones
