<< Rear Bearings:
 They are held in by threaded retaining rings. The Milano uses a cheaper
 thinner ring than the GTV6, but thay are interchangable. Both have special
 tools to remove/install. If you can't borrow the tool, you can sometimes get
 the old ones out by carefully using a punch and/or Dremel tool. If you can
 remove them you can use the more substantial GTV6 rings and seat them using a
 punch. (I borrowed the tool to remove the rings on my Milano and installed
 GTV6 rings with a tool. On my son's GTV6 we removed and replaced them with a
 ~1/4 punch.)

Here is how I did my Alfetta (same system).  Had a friend with a cutting torch
cut out the old bearing, quick and easy.  Using the outer race of the old
bearing made a puller using threaded rod and matching nuts, and some thick
pieces of steel I found scouring around the hardware store and some heavy
washers to span the bearings.  Line em up and turn the nut and pull the
bearing in.  Worked nicely for me.
