yeah just knock them off, try not to damage the shaft they sit on. i use a 36mm socket to refit as as it fits the bearing well and saves damaging the new bearing.
 
Thanks gents I am going to try and recondition my VCU when i can source some fluid. Didnt want to smash the **** out of my bearings if they needed pressing off !!

Will let you know how i get on with my diy vcu recon !

So - how much fluid are you going to fill it with?
 
Not sure yet depends what comes out if I can get it out ? Have heard that silicone fluid with a viscosity of 12500CS should be OK but I may try slightly heavier or lighter.

Sourcing the stuff is the problem !
