I also forgot to mention...
Some of the tools that I found useful, or would have if I'd had them:
Sealey do a 'Blind bearing puller' that does a good job of getting an intact bearing out of the wheel. The puller is also available as a Clarke branded item. It's currently around £100 if you shop around (e.g. price of the Clarke version at MachineMart).

This is a set of aluminium discs that attach to an aluminium handle that's used to drive the bearing into the wheel. Cost is around £45-£50 although I bought an unbranded version off Ebay for £32.

I eventually managed to get the shell out using a thick 45mm washer that I'd reduced two sides of so that it could be slotted into the shell and then used the puller on this. It took a lot of time and effort and I thought that there must be a better way so I browsed the Sealey catalogue. They do a tool called the 'Blind bearing removal tool kit' which will definitely do the job. It's a torsion screw type bearing removal tool with two arms that have ends like flattened ball bearings. The tool is setup so that the ends engage the bearing shell and then the screw is used to pull the bearing shell from the wheel. You'll need to figure out a way of putting something in the middle, or behind, the bearing shell for the screw to work against.
