I've never needed more than a hammer and BUS to get the inner races off. New backplates are always a good idea as well as hammering out the ABS sensors, cleaning out the holes with a rotary file and fitting new ones with copper grease. I give new steel backplates a rub down and a few extra coats of satin black. Do it all now and it'll never be an issue again. Dead ABS sensors will fall out on command.
Those struts are original BMW factory fit. Sachs so probably okay. Take the springs off and fit new bump stops and plastic tubes.
