Need Help To Remove Inner Bearing

Had the same problem. Tried for four hours using punches, chisels, sockets....everythig I could think of, and nothing worked. I simply could not get anything to grab onto the very tiny lip. Then I tried that trick with running a weld bead around the inside of the race. It fell out onto the floor with the first tap. The weld bead shrinks when it cools and breaks the friction fit. Plus, the weld bead gives you something to tap on. I was done with both in 10 minutes. Use a pretty thick bead, and run it completey around the race. Of course, be careful not to weld the race to the hub!
