Re: how do you remove bearing races from a rotor
Get a large steel punch and a good hammer. You are losing force from the soft screwdriver handle.

Re: how do you remove bearing races from a rotor
 You've probably already seen the two notches inside the rotor. Place the punch there and commence to bangin'. Pete |

Re: how do you remove bearing races from a rotor

Re: how do you remove bearing races from a rotor
If you have access to a welder run a short bead in the center of the bearing from inside to out or center of rotor to exterior of rotor and it will come out easier. Stinks like he!! but works.
