Removing wheel bearing cups/races....

I'm trying to replace the bearings and cups on the rear axle of my WC-51 and I'm having a hard time pressing the cups out of the hub. What's the trick to this? I cut a 1/4 inch thick piece of flat stock to fit the top of the cup and used my (small) 12 ton press to press it out. The cup has moved a half inch or so, but I keep bending the stock... do I just need to double up the stock and accept that this takes a LOT of pressure, or is there and easier way? Hints?

Thanks,
