-For balljoints I pound them out with a hammer and stick the new one in the freezer and heat up the part where it presses into. No press required, it will drop right in.

-To remove a race on an ID, weld around the race. When the weld cools it will contract and the race will fall right out. To install new race, place in freezer and heat up the part where it presses in to. Drops right in.

-To remove an external race, cut a slot into it with a cutoff wheel. Then hit it with a chisel. It will crack the race and pop right off.
