John:
My first post didn't seem to works so will try again, Hope I don't end up with a double post.

A bearing splitter used in conjunction with a press works best. If you don't have access to this you can use an arc welder to weld a bead across the width of the outer shell of the bearing in two places 180 degrees apart, this will make it brittle and when you smack it with a chisel next to the beads the outer race will split and fall off. Repeat the same procedure on the inner race (be careful not to weld on the axle shaft) once again smack it with a chisel next to the bead and it will fall apart. Be sure to wear Safety Glasses.

Hope this helps Tom R.
