Does anyone here know how to remove the pivot bearing races on the rear hub carrier. They are the races that coincide with bearing #15 in the picture below. Is there a special tool or special method as there is no access from behind but there are two notches across from each other where the bearing sits. Is there a special puller for this?

 

I always just remove 13 and 14 (take note of the spacer shim and save it for reinstallation).

Use a long drift and knock the races out from the opposite end.

I think I have a long punch with a slightly bent end to catch the edge of the race in the cut-out slots.

I have known in the past an appropriate sized washer to be welded on to the race and then knocked out from the back.
Wether this would be appropriate I have no idea.

I made up a tool with part of an old steering wheel puller that I had and extended it with a bolt. The bearing races are not very tight and it worked fine to tap them out.

 

I managed to bend about an inch from the end of a long punch and after quite a few strikes it managed to pop free. Thanks for all the tips guys! Now my next hurdle will be trying to remove the parking brake cable from the hub. Not sure if I can reach the little clip that holds it in place,any suggestions? I have another hub with all new races,bearings and seals ready to be swapped over so hopefully everything will go quickly.
