I have a huge iron punch of some sort I found in the remains of my great
grandfather's blacksmith shop. Its long, its heavy and combined with a 3#
hammer it took the races out no sweat.

I found a 1"x 8" hexagonal piece of brass bar stock that I use for bearing
races. If I keep the end nice and square the points work very well for
getting into the relief in the hub and driving out the race. I have
another similarly sized round piece for putting them back in. Makes them a
breeze, front or rear.
