Sorry, it's a little bit difficult to understand your problem from your description. First, you might try doing a search on www.renntech.org I seem to recall some very good directions on bearing removal there, with good pictures. Second, it sounds like maybe you haven't removed the axles. You can't get the bearing out without doing this. There is a nut on the end of the axle that takes something like 250+ ft lbs of torque to remove! You have to take out the center cap in your wheels, chock the wheels, and loosen the nut with the car on the ground and NOT in gear. It is TOUGH. I highly recommend a 3/4" breaker bar, cheater extension, and impact quality socket. My 1/2" tools were a bit undersized for this job. Harbor Freight quality sockets will simply shatter into tiny pieces. Also, don't forget that you will need to re-torque this nut when putting everything back together. Most "normal" torque wrenches do not go this high, so you may want to think about this BEFORE getting into this too deep.
FYI, I used the SIR B90 tool to remove my bearings and it worked beautifully.
