Whats your honest shop skill level? Thats not meant as insult, but rather gives me a better idea what to suggest. I deal with this kind of problem often and there are a few different ways to do it. Tacking a bolt cut to length that spans the inner diameter would be easiest then hit that from the opposite side. That requires a welder of course and enough experience with it not to burn through that bearing race welding it to the inside of the neck tube. Thats kind of why i was asking your shop capabilities not for judgement purposes but for best recomendation for your level of ability and equipment you might have on hand.
This works also and is a simple garage piece. A coupling nut, 2 jamb nuts, and 2 bolts. One end ground to a point and one end ground to a sort of a chisel point. Torque it up inside the race and lock the jamb nuts then hit it from the opposite end more on the chisel point end than the center. You get my drift. This is easy also without the welding. Obviously wouldnt work for a timken cone type bearing race. The art i borrowed offline, my skill level art wise is about a 2 on a scale of 1 to 100.

Ya thanks for your reply, I don't have a welder but seen that way of doing it, I'm going to try heating the outside and compressed air on the race to cool it down and hopefully it drops out. The top one that I chewed all up I'm not sure yet, I like the idea of the jam nuts but it's less than an inch across, I don't if I could find them small enough
