In the past, when I've had to pull the BB's out, I've just taken a rubber mallet and tapped around the edge in a circle until it worked it's way out.

The races are certainly DIY. I just take a drift and stick it through the opposite side of the hub and place it against the edge of the race. Then, start tapping with a hammer, moving the drift constantly in a circle around the perimeter of the race until it works it's way out.

Reverse the process to install the new race.

In either case, installing or removing, never tap too much on any one side as the race will jam and possibly be damaged.
