This is the current view from behind the assembly.

You may have to remove the knuckle and press them out, this looks very much like a Volvo bearing and since the LR2 shares a chassis with the S80 it makes sense. The problem is that they are tricky as heck to press back in, if you press on the hub you destroy the new bearing. You have to build up around the outer edge of the bearing so the pressure is on the outer race, not the middle, it's a bear of a job.
Alternately, you could try freezing the bearing and heating the knuckle. If you can get the bearing to contract from the cold and the knuckle to expand you can possibly slide the new bearting into the knuckle. This worked with BMW motorcycle rear end bearings, so it might work here.
