Conclusion:

The bearing races would require welding a bead on to the race itself to remove like I had to do last time - there is almost nothing to grab on the inside to pull them out. I thought then of grinding a pair of removal grooves in the housing like some hubs have, but since the chunk was in this was a no-go.



What I did was take the shims I had, opened up the inner diameter 0.040" in a lathe to fit the ledge of the seal, then cut them in half and "glued" them to the seal and carefully tightened down the retainer. 0.002" play max now.



Thanks to all that helped! I still have a few of the spacers left if somebody else has this issue.
