I find that not so much a large drift but a Long one is key.. Preferably a Very high quality drift w/ well defined edges. The lip you are trying to drive out is Small, so you'll need as solid a contact surface as you can find. I've also taken to heating the hub around the bearing race w/ mapp/propane gas and dribbling a bit of water on the race.. With that I can usually have the race out in 5-10 smacks at worst.
Who makes the bearings you are re-installing?
