I did find this quote in another thread

Re: robin rear wheel bearing replacement
I used to split bearings at work using a small angle grinder to nibble away at the inner race after splitting the outer with the grinder.
I'd grind off enough to leave a small area then a tap with a hammer would normally split the inner race.

I tried to be normal once, worst two minutes of my life.
