I tried tapping around the edges with a screwdriver and hammer, but they aren't moving and I don't want to score the casting walls. The problem is that there are two races about 1/2" from each end of the housing and I don't think I could drive both of them out of one side of the casting with a piece of pipe.

BFH and a punch. One cup comes out one side and the other cup comes out the other side of the housing. This is a typical Cub spindle housing.
