most modern cars have pressed in wheel bearings. the best way to do these is to weld them out. once you have the hub off take the bearings out. then to get the inner race out put a heavy weld in the middle off the race at the peak once you have gone all round turn hub upside down and the race will fall out. and because of the heat the new bearings will just slide in to about an eight of a inch so you can just tap it home. then just cool it down and refit. i have done this on many cars and it never fails.

if you have a nut or screw that you think will snap tighten it first before you undo it. you can always tighten a bolt

if you have a bleed nipple that feels like it is going to snap pour a kettle of boiling water over it this is enough to free it
