I used a small cutting wheel to cut most of the way through, then carefully removed it with a drift. Just be carefully not to cut into the axle, although you dont have to cut all the way through the bearing case as it will split when you hit it.  As for refitting, as has already been said freeze it first then drive it carefully back in. You need to support the inner side so it doesnt come appart if you a knocking it in, will be fine if you are using a press or puller.
