Pulling a stuck ball bearing
 

*Now* they tell us.

Destroy the cage and remove the inner race & balls, run a bead of weld
around the inside of the outer race, said race will fall out by the
time you've finished welding.

Yup.... gotta agree with the bead around the inside trick... I've done
it and it's slicker than a greased string up a hog's butt. Race just
fell out on the floor at just about the same time the smile hit my
face..... Ken.

Up one level in technology:
Use a carbon electrode to run a 'puddle' instrad of a bead. All you need is
a little surface melting.
Same result and no spatter.
Much easier cleanup.

works on just about any internal fit , I used that technique once to remove
a cylinder liner that was 7.5 o.d and 30 inches long

Can this be done on both races ??? inter and outer ???

No. As it is a shrinking process this won't work on inner race.
