Is there a good way to remove the inner races?

You have to grind a couple of small slots on the backside of the hub where the race seats, just enough to get a small punch on the back side of the race. Then, using the punch. work the race out of there. Re-assembly is straightforward, just drive the new races all the way down just like any other wheel bearing replacement.
