I've always had luck with driving the races out with a heavy hammer and a punch. There isn't much of the edge exposed but enough to work my way around it to drive it out.

The new races respond to spending the night in the refrigerator. I have a set of old races that I use to install the new. I reduced their diameter by grinding the outside down enough that they easily slip into the hub (you do NOT want them to fit tight or you won't get them out). I take the new cold ones and apply a little grease and get it started by tapping around the edge. I continue striking the edge until it is flush with the hub and then I use the old reduced diameter race and a hammer to tap the new race against its stop.
