Outer Race Bearing?

Hello everybody,

Does anybody have any tricks for getting bearings out? I feel like I've tried everything - the slide hammer, screwdriver, bearing pullers, heating it up. I cannot get this thing out. I feel like I've even marred up the hub a bit in the process and at this point I'm wondering if it'd be easier to just get a damn hub.

Thanks in advance

There is a narrow lip inside - just tap the race out from inside.

That's what I've been doing, it is totally stuck. I even took a slide hammer to it with no success.
