This is the outer race of a front wheel bearing, stuck in the steering upright? I had one once that was really stuck, and I couldn't get it out with the press, even after putting a little heat on it with a torch. It just would not budge. I used a trick that often comes in handy: I heated the race up again with the torch, then dropped the upright in a bucket of water. The shock of the cooling breaks loose the bond between the parts. When I pulled them out of the bucket the bearing race had migrated most of the way out on its own, and I was able to push it out the rest of the way with the press, no problem.
