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.

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.
