Got the new race firmly seated using the old one and now the old race is stuck. Any removal tips? I don’t want to bugger more than I already have.

weld a flat bar with a stud to it and pull with the slide hammer, or if you have enough of a lip come in from the opposite side with a brass drift and drive it out.Got the new race firmly seated using the old one and now the old race is stuck.

Tried #2 no work. The edges are exactly the same diameter. Could you describe #1 in a bit more detail? Pretend I’m 10yo. Mentally.weld a flat bar with a stud to it and pull with the slide hammer, or if you have enough of a lip come in from the opposite side with a brass drift and drive it out.
I’ll use my hammer! Note my handle and recent post. Thanks for the tipIf you take a piece of flat stock to span the race, drill 2 1/4” holes in the stock at each edge of the race that allow you to weld the race to the flat bar. You can then weld an appropriately threaded stud or bolt in the center of the flat bar and then thread your slide hammer onto that. Then have someone hold the hub or wedge it under something and hit it with your big purse(lol).
Grind the end to the shape you want, it will get deformed anywayThanks. I needed that. Got the new drifts but the chamfered edge makes it a bit of a pain to use in tight situationsView attachment 3872196
Yeah I got it by just pushing the new one out and starting over. So putting the fat end of the old one on top and hammering the skinny end is the right way to use it correct?
Just use the drift on its side to get it started then send it home, or go get a set of bearing drivers for like $30 on Amazon.
