Thanks guys. Definitely no washer between the bearing and the yoke on mine, Ceriani forks, will investigate further, including the "roundness" of the housings.

Bearing housings on the steering tube check out fine, so off to the powder coater next week, then the rebuild begins

OK, ground the mother of a thing off the shaft. Used a cutting disc on the dremel to slice a wedge off the bearing parallel to the shaft then a grinding bit to complete the job.
Next time (although hopefully that will be a long time) I think I will be using a splitter and puller such as this http://www.bearing-king.co.uk/bearing/15-k-separating-set/3848. Probably also be useful for getting the top bearing off the adjuster nut.
They also sell a very nice internal extractor that will fit all internal bearings apart from the rear wheel (17mm ID) and which would save a lot of angst smashing the needle bearings out of the swingarm http://www.bearing-king.co.uk/bearing/21-4-internal-extractor/5568.
Their replacement bearing prices for genuine SKF are bloody cheap compared to Oz as well.
Allo allo, even cheaper on Ebay UK http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GEAR-HUB-BEARING-PULLER-SEPERATOR-KIT-783172-12600014-/190387165484?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item2c53f5992c#ht_2589wt_905
