Did it last week with the help of that guide.  In addition most presses do
not have that adaptor ( your lucky in canada) to press the lower out, but
heating up the spindle a little, and hitting the lower joint out while the
spindle is clamped in a vise works rather well, and then a normal loaner
press works great to put it back in.
