I assume you are planning to use the tool in anger (so to speak)?
If so you might be interested in the struggles I've had doing the job =>
W123 rear wheel bearing removal help needed
(Shows how to do it off the car as well)
PeachPartsWiki: Replacing the Rear Wheel Bearings
Also shows the process - but I advise not to hit stuff out with hammers.
More recently I've measured the force required to crush a crush collar on a W201 differential - similar design to the rear wheel crush collar...
...7 metric tons registered on my hydraulic press until it moved!

You are welcome, and thank you for posting those threads, I just browsed them quickly and plan to read them thoroughly later.
I'm not sure what you mean by "use the tool in anger".
Thanks for the replies,
Bryan
