You may need a variety of punches. Always wear eye protection from chips exploding off a punch.
I found that the race lip which protrudes into the axle passage is so thin/ narrow that I couldn't get purchase with any of my drifts. I ground a hook into this chisel, and it worked perfectly. The guy in the video uses a 3/8 breaker bar as a drift. IMO that tool could rest against a shelf, but not a narrow lip. He and others have recommended significant force of blows to move the race. I was reluctant to do that not knowing what I might damage in the process. Several taps around the perimeter of the race dislodged it, and it came out with no difficulty.
