You're almost there..., usually you can pry the seal out with a screwdriver. This will usually destroy the old seal. (be careful not to scratch the sidewall)

The bearing will fall out.., then from the back side, you can tap the outer race out with a hefty screwdriver or a long punch... working your way around.

Some rotors/hubs have "notches" to fit the punch into, so as to tap the race out.
