Doesn't the shaft stick thru the throwout-bearing and into the clutch disc? How on earth could you ever remove the throwout-bearing with the shaft in the way?
Here is a pic of my tranny outside my house when I was replacing the clutch. Mine's a VR6, but I'm not sure how different your 2.0 would be. That shaft slides thru the clutch disc, so I'm not sure how you can actually remove the bearing without removing the tranny.

The above pic is of an O2A tranny, totally different design! The TO bearing on that cannot be replaced with the tranny installed, the 020 is different though.
Remove the clutch cable and "green" tranny endcap. Pull the clutch release lever down and look into the endcap. You will see where the release lever goes into the tranny and where the finger for the lever touches the bearing. There might be a spring in there that you have to remove if you can't remove the bearing and hold the clutch release lever out of the way at the same time. I used two screwdrivers to pull the last one I did out. It's really simple once you see it for the first time.
Good luck
