Grind a bar/plate to fit in the race about 1/2 way down. Weld onto the race with a wire welder.
Tap it out against the welded plate/bar with a rod/pipe from the opposite side.

I second welding in a bar, works great, used it multiple times to remove something stuck like that.
It never fights after that unless it is defective already.

No welder? Use rotary carbide rasp to cut into the race, tap with hammer to loosen race. If no success use a bigger hammer.
