I've had the same problem. I contacted Phil Wood by email and I've pasted the response below. Unfortunately I still couldn't get it to work with these instructions. I just put it back together and kept riding, though I will eventually need to replace the bearings. It has been a few months since I've looked at it, so I can't remember the details.
The following is the response I got from PW: Using a bolt that will fit into the axle on the side which the cap is removed from ( in order not to damage the thread ) support the hub without interfering with the bearing and tap firmly on the bolt with the hammer. The axle is shouldered on the inside so it will push the bearing out on the opposite side. If you go to this link on our web site we have pics of the axle/bearing being removed from a rear track hub, the concept is the same. http://www.philwood.com/support/partsservice.php This didn't work for me, but maybe it will work for you. Let me know if you find out how to do it.
