Replacing front wheel bearings

I already replaced these once about 4,000 miles ago preventatively and unfortunately the RF bearing is making noise. I got the front end apart yesterday and can feel play in the RF bearing so it is definitely bad. For the life of me I cannot press the old bearing out of the spindle with a "Orion" press kit (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FLVOAZI...n_title_1&th=1) even though this is what I used the first time. How are you guys changing your wheel bearings? Any tricks?


I'm using the Bentley manual and it calls out a similar tool to the Orion one linked above.
