Brian - can you send a picture of the type tool that removes the races properly - sounds like you are talking about a slide hammer?
Thx

No they are not in the rotors. The rotor is bolted to the wheel hub from the inside with allen bolts. The races and bearings are contained inside the hub.
The bearings can usually be re-packed with grease and re-used. The hub seal must be pulled and replaced.
I have never had to remove or replace a bearing race. Even when using new bearings I leave the old race installed....unless its damaged there is no point in removing it.
