I tapped the abs ring off with a brass drift and ground the bearing and retainer off with an angle grinder (carefully), and tapped the new parts into place using a suitable length of steel pipe of the right diameter

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

I pulled the bearings off the shafts in my gearbox with one of these, (you might get the wheelbearing off with some extra threaded bar, but I doubt if you could pull the bearing and the abs collar at once.)
and pressed it all back together with one of these (mine is a 10 tonne one), I pressed my wheelbearings back on with it too.
Both useful pieces of kit, but you don't exactly need them everyday
