Does that make sense.... ?

I see what you are getting at for sure ... but I'm sure MarkDTM was on about pressing new bearings into old hubs when mine were re-replaced after Newent when he tried to take out the play in the so called new one.... to the extent that I have kept the hub at his request to give to him as and when so he could play.... it's just a matter of finding someone who will sell the bearings ...

Parts in the pic...

Conti Shite jobby
Hub at the top
Barring races on the left
Inboard inner race at the bottom
Outboard inner race on the right
Seal bottom right corner

There is nothing else to take apart, afaict...?

that bearing outer shell looks like it will knock out

Close up of the outer race in the hub. If we are to replace a complete baring, those races in the hub have to come out. And I can't see how they can.

the shiny bit in that photo should tap out through the back if you chisel from the wheel side

That is the wheel side. The hole at the back of the picture is the outboard smaller side.

.......

A run of stick/MMA weld around the bearing inner normally helps or weld something across the middle that you can then hit!

is there a lip in that bearing ring that you could knock it out(if you can imagine lifting the ring you see in your picture up towards the abs ring,sorry I'm shite at trying to describe what i mean )

there would be if you welded one in

aye,true enough

It's often the heat from the welding that helps the bearing inners fall out ........... especially if you crank the amps up!!

If that race was seperate to the hub, the hub (and the wheel) would fall off. Leaving the bearing on the stub axle.

The outer race is machined into the hub. Or put it another way, the hub IS the outer race.

I reckon the races will come out. 

The whole lot is sandwiched together by the hub nut so it can't move, that's why the wheel doesn't come off.

Which side are you talking about?
the race shown in this picture HAS to be a separate seat, it'll seat right up to a shoulder machined in the hub (& presumably the same on the other side so that as you tighten the hub nut you load up the pair of bearings)

the bearing race will be hardened steel but the rest of the hub isn't therefore its seperate
