Thanks 911ob. Good to know both ways work. I will be renting/borrowing bearing/race drivers from FLAPS tomorrow to get the races out. I'll ask them what tool they have to install new ones. May be same tool - drivers.

I will first try with only freezing the races. The race driver tool should be able to apply/transfer the hammer blows (taps) evenly around the race. If that proves difficult or, then I'll try heating the hubs. What temp and how long to heat?

I use a long drift to tap the races out carefully one side at a time.
Beautiful work digitalgdp
