Default Input shaft bearing

The bearing race was destroyed and the inner ring fell out. Anyone know how to get the outter ring out? Can't find an answer anywhere.

If you have a welder weld something to the race so you can beat it out from behind, otherwise you have a fun job of prying it out of there a millimeter at a time.

Easy - take a rag and stuff it down the hole so you don't get metal all over. Buy, borrow, or etc a dremel with a small metal cutting wheel. Cut a "V" or similar 99% of the way through the ring on both sides - 180 degrees opposite of each other. Once you have cut almost all the way through - take a VERY SHARP small cold chisel and break the remaining 1% of the metal holding the race together. Do this on both sides and the pieces will come out in two parts. Hope that helps...

i had a similar thought of cutting the race out.

if the OP doesn't have a steady hand though, he could try reassembling the bearing (put the ***** back in and drop the inner ring back in) then space the ***** as evenly as possible and cram some bits of paper towel or whatever to keep the ***** spaced. then press out with the inner ring as normal.
