I just did this job last week and an old machinist friend of mine had a great idea. You don't need to get a hub press if you don't have a machine shop nearby, or if they're not cooperative. -All you have to do is go buy $5 worth of dry ice. (usually available at grocery stores) -Break it up into small pieces to allow for greater surface area. -Put it in an ice chest and bury the outside race in it. -Let it sit for about an hour. -Simply slide the shrunken race into the hub. Make sure that the hub is room temperature to allow for the temp difference. It was one of the most fun parts of any car repair I've ever done. Plus you get leftover dry ice to play around with! I'm a big fan of smarter not harder.
