Hi,

 

There are 2 outer races that are an interference fit inside the hubs. With both inner races (bearings) and the rear oil seal removed, proceed as follows: 

 

Clean any excess grease from inside the hub and locate the raised ring cast into the middle of the hub. There should be two notches approximately opposite each other. Support the hub to stop it tipping over, then use an appropriate sized drift to tap the outer races out towards the hub edges.

They can be a little stubborn, but judicious tapping should see them come out eventually!

 

Hope this helps!

 

Cheers, Steve.

That's how to do it. Just use a soft drift, brass or aluminium, so you don't damage the hub.
