Press to put on, and to take off.
You can cut a slot in the race and used a chisel to break the race, once the race has a crack in it, it will fall off, but once you get it off how are you expecting to install the new one?

Here's a novel idea, let's not throw a bunch of parts at the car hoping it will fix the problem and instead spend a little time diagnosing it first.
Life was a little easier when I was just a wrench.

Here is a puller that works on 8-3/4 and Dana power loks (clutch)since the case has a puller groove machined behind the bearing. I don't know if the cone type has this groove. This is a Miller SPX tool.
You still need one of these with that tool
and it won't install the bearing either
no you don't. That puller does the job without anything else. I've used it dozen of times. Installing the bearing is no issue. Using a hammer and the old inner race, big socket, piece of pipe etc will do that job.

If it is really a problem to remove I would try this, although it has been a while since I've gone to a NAPA or a mom or pop shop in a long time for press use but they normally charge very little ($15 or less) to pull and install bearings with their press. Otherwise carry it into a dealer and normally a tech can pull it off for you for a $10 or a $20 spot.
When making the cut with a cutoff wheel you do not have to make the cut perpendicular to the base of the race. You can cut a diagonal. A nick on the carrier should be ok just deburr it if you do.

I could try and chisel a groove and spit it open, but aren't they a tough steel to work with? A cutoff wheel would work a little better, but the chance of going too deep and scoring the carrier ends to me seems too much of a possibility.
Personally, I cut into the race with a cutoff wheel, then use a chisel in the cut to split it.
You won't score it if you're careful.
If you score the carrier, it is really not a big deal. The race doesn't spin on it, it is pressed on. A mark in it will not affect it. Just make sure it isn't burred or it'll stop the new one from going on properly. Touch it up with a few file strokes, and it should be fine.
You can try the welding thing, but the inner race is pretty hard stuff. I guess as long as the race comes off when you done, then you've done it right.

You did not read the op's first thread, he pulled off the cage and rollers, so there is no cage to grab onto anymore.
Depending on the interference fit I normally will not go banging on any bearings to install them.
Wrong again. That tool doesn't require that the bearing has a cage or rollers since it grabs the inner race so that the bearing can be reused like when setting diff bearing preload on a Dana.

This is one of those things you would have to show me, without the cage and rollers your tool does not have a shoulder to grab onto.
your tool
similar tool in action with cage
Op mention not having a case that has a puller groove machined behind the bearing
Show me it happening without the cage.

i think if you were to be grabbing the cage with that puller, you'd detroy the bearing by twisting the cage in to a pretzel.
you need to get the fingers of the puller onto the inner race or else
It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.
