Removing Bearing Race out of front hubs?

Hey guys,

I'm trying to get the bearing race out of the front hubs and was wondering how you guys do it since there isn't much a lip to take them out. Thats on the 5 bolt hubs. Took them in to a machine shop and they said they'd probably cut a couple of slots out and to get a punch behind them. I'd rather not do that and mess up the balance of them. I was thinking it comes down to cutting a slot I can just toss them on the lathe and cut a circular grove all around to atleast maintain balance.

Let me know what you guys do though.

Thanks in advance

Sam

The part you cut doesn't spin. Mazdatrix.com has a write up.
