The ‘official’ instructions are here:

.....and seem to need special tools to pull the old bearing out. YouTube may have some simpler options without buying their tools, but it does look as if you need a puller of some sort.

Re: Noisy front wheel bearing
I had both my front wheel bearings changed on my E53 by an indy. They were quite difficult to do and they broke their puller attempting to do them. They had to go to a local HGV repair garage to use their heavy duty puller.
Pleased I didn't try to do them myself![Smile :)](./images/smilies/original.gif)
