If you have a heat gun or even a blow dryer try heating it up then prying it out with a screwdriver. Just remember to wear gloves or something cause it will be hot. I only say that from my own experience.

I tried that and tried freezing it to shrink the race but that didnt work either. The solution ended up being too easy. Put the screw back in the top and tightened it all the way untill it cracked the race

Usually the only reason that bearing fails is because you have the c-hub screws
in the wrong holes. The short one goes on top, the long one in the bottom. If
you put the 12mm long one in the top it will cause that type of bearing failure.

Sent you a PM.
