If the spacer is turning with the inner race, and especially if the other bearing's inner race is turning when you do this, you've found the problem. Hopefully, the inner diameter of the spacer is a little bit larger than the inner diameter of the race. If you can find a socket that will fit pretty close to the inner diameter of the race, you can add an extension to the socket and gently tap the lip of the opposite bearing around the inside and work it loose. Don't whale on it. The bearing races are made of hardened steel, they'll chip if you get carried away. You also don't want to get it cocked by driving it too far on one side. So, easy does it...ARH
