A run of weld usually works for removing outer races especially and is especially useful if the race is in a blind hole. Weld is not so good if you hope to reuse the outer race.Thanks all, think will try the weld approach, not done that before
Yes, thanks, plywood on floor. I burnt kitchen rug last time but was able to flip it over.as the RFM is not painted, you could stick it in the oven, bake at 240 F for 20 min, turning .... oh, not cookies that race should just drop right in. Put a piece of plywood on the floor so you can do this
straight from the oven. The heat will expand the race quickly so when you turn it over to do the other
side, it will already be held in place. I love my oven.
