The trick is using a tool that makes enough contact during the first few blows to actually unseat it. Once you get the race unseated it gets much easier to tap the rest of the way out. I've got a 1/2 inch wide flat cold chisel that I have beveled the tip such that it has the profile of a shovel. It gets good purchase on the small lip that you have to work with.

i have tried screwdriver, steel punches, sockets. i'm out of options to get my bearing races out. i even put the hub in the oven to heat it up and tried to pound them out. i've ruined all my punches by rounding off the flat edges.. guess i just have to find a shop that's willing to press them out for me.
