I did not have enough of a lip to get a tool in there to pry. I heated the race with a mapp torch and used a chisel to open up enough of a gap so the bearing splitter could get enough bite on race.

Actually lesson learned here - using an inductive heat tool is a bad idea for removing this bearing race. The larger hunk of metal - the hub, heats more than the bearing race. Using a torch on the...
