Default Nick, great pictures and video. Question...

Does that tool have any adapter for getting off the part of the bearing that is stuck to the hub?

TIA

Default No, I just used a 3 jaw puller in 2 jaw mode.

I wasn't able to get the jaws on the race initially, so I just used one of the jaws by hand as a prybar on alternating sides to move the race out far enough to get both puller jaws on it. One I could do that, I stuck a piece of metal over the center hole of the hub so I could then use the puller to get it off the rest of the way.

If I had a bearing separator like this:

I could have just pulled it off with the puller from the beginning instead of having to pry it off.
