Rear Axle Bearing Replacement 200 1983

Due to an increasingly loud whine from the left rear wheel bearing, I removed the half-shaft. According to the Haynes manual, the bearing locking ring can be removed by drilling and splitting. Even with a titanium coated drill bit, the locking ring is too hard to drill. What's the best way to remove the locking ring and bearing? At work, I have access to a hydraulic press, die grinder, lathe, etc. The Haynes manual does reference using a press to remove the ring and bearing but I don't see much to press against because the wheel flange on the end of the half-shaft is in the way. What's the best method to install the new bearing and locking ring? jp
