How to remove bearing race

So the very last step to completely tear down this axle is going to be the removal of both of the pinion bearing races. We are going to start with the biggest one first. The FIRST and SECOND picture shows the race which is located right on the inside of the axle housing. To remove, grab your trusty punch and mallet and tap it from the back. In the FORTH picture we are looking through where the yoke sits and you will see that there is 2 exposed parts of the race, one on right and left, specifically designed for tapping it out. So get your punch and hit it from there. The FIFTH picture shows how to position your punch in the right hole to tap on the back of the race.
