Need a bearing puller, you can lever the outer race off the one on the crown wheel, then lift the balls and cage off and leave the inner race on, which will come off with the crown wheel.

does the bearing say THRUST on the side ?

If so, pop the outer ring off with the aid of a large screw driver... you can then get at the crownwheel bolts...

If you need to use the bearing on the other crownwheel, then you're going to need a bearing puller like this...

Is the crown wheel the big one on the diff?
Have tried using a three armed puller and there just isn't enough of a lip for it, and as a reult keeps slipping off.
Managed to get the bolts on crown wheel undone but this brings of both the crown and bearing case together!

You can lift the bearing and crown wheel off together.
