Maybe not the easiest or best solution but it worked. I could have bought the front bearing retainer with a race already pressed in but since I was using Timken bearings, I know they machine the bearing/race as a matched set. I wanted to use the matched race so I had to r&r mine.

Thanks for you reply.
The opening behind the race is smaller than the race. The rotor is machined with a small step just behind the race then it is smaller. You can't get a tool on the back side of the race from the back side of the rotor to where you can get a good bite to knock it out. The tool will have to offset. I will have to make tool or just take the rotors to a brake/machine shop and have them remove the bearing races for me.
I'll have to plan a trip to town but in the mean time there are plenty of other things I be working on.
Thanks again for your help.
