the outside race you mean?
use a drift punch and work it out or try and push it from the other side

you could try some heat, aluminum will expand a lot more than steel and absorb the heat faster. this will also help break any tension but try and knock it out when its hot but before the steel has absorbed much heat. another thing to try would be notch through the race with a dremel. might be a little dicey.
I vote for punch and heat. I've done it with a Dremel, and like you said, it's tricky as the races are pretty tough material.
That was the one! Punch worked great. Thanks!
