Okay, I was riding one day, andot of nowhere my rear rim started to wobble. So, I slowly rode home and took my rear rim off the bike, and my right-side bearing exploded, and the only part of the bearing that is still in tact is the outer part of the race. So, I took out the circlip and poped the opposited bearing out. On the right side of the hub the inside is grooved like six times, and I cant remove the rest of the race to replace it. It is getting close to the end of spring break and I haven't been able to ride at all due to this problem. Please help me. :whiner:

You need to tap out the race from the opposite site with a long punch.
Heat the hub first. Put a wet rag in the microwave then wrap it around the hub and leave for ten minutes first.
