Maybe find a socket of the correct diameter. I have tons of stuff that may not be in everyone's garage.

I have to go from inside the tube out. That is kinda hard to do. Plus there is another snap ring behind the bearing race. I have to get something behind it and pull it out.

You don't have to remove the snap ring behind the bearing until you get the race/shell out of the way. You will have to remove the inner snap ring to remove the seal.

I keep calling the outer parts of the bearing a shell because I reserve race for tapered bearings. I know the outer part of the sealed bearing is called race but it's just me.

If you have a die grinder or a Dremel you could grind a groove out of it and it will slip right out.

I was able to get the race out by cutting a groove on it with a Roto zip. Installed new seal and bearing, but something else must be stripped. I can turn the input shaft and the main large lower gear turns, but neither axle turns. Must be stripped where the axle goes into the spider gears.
