Trouble Pressing Out Rotor Bearings

As above have had a good search around and have not found any good ideas. Have had a removal tool made up and used a 10T bottle jack on it but wont budge. Anyone.

No wait its all good and sorted. Got the porta power onto them. Takes heaps of pressure to release them and they come off with a bang.

fyi I have heard that you should heat up the rotors and freeze the bearings to make install go a lot smoother.

Yeah did do all that. Despite drawing lines on the side as an aid I miss aligned the tab on the first one because i was hurrying and had to reheat it and bang it back out again. But the second one went in smooth as.
