You can also try sticking some sort of pic thru the oppsite side of the bearing carrier, and see if you can beat it out by hammering on one in of the pic, and the other end against the outer race of the bearing.

The easiest way to get those races out is to knock out allof the bearing, leaving just the race left in the carrier, take a MIG welder, and run a bead all the way around the race where the ball bearings ride. The heat from the welder changes the molecular properties of the metal, and fatigues it, often to the point that the race will just fall out of the carrier. It works great. I am a car mechanic, and I do it all the time to remove automotive wheel bearings, so I don't have to use a press to get them out.

Hope you have a CNC lathe and some sort of Auto-CAD program, or you're out of luck. Dude you can buy them brand new on EBAy for $125. Dont waste your time.
