Every winter I like to tear the bike down and do a bit of maintenance. I feel like I may have messed up this year :/. While replacing the front bearings I managed to knock the inner racing out of the nonspeedometer side bearing. I've had a bit of trouble trying to get whats left of the bearing out of the wheel. I've tried using a punch and hammer but there is a small lip there that I'm afraid to damage and can't get around to the actual bearing itself. I've tried levering it out from the outside but it's stuck in there pretty good, I'm tempted to cut it out but would rather not go that route unless I have no other option.

Any ideas on how I can fix this issue?
Thanks in advance!
One of the problems has to do with the speed of light and the difficulties involved in trying to exceed it. You can't. Nothing travels faster than the speed of light with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws.
