Nice job to you, from a 58 year old fellow mechanic. The kids could also use a socket of the exact same size to drive the race in. Toooo many videos from un-experienced UA-camrs. This is the only way to correctly do this, brass punch was icing on the cake...lol
Most have a small depression, somewhere around the inside of the race to catch. If they don't have a recess cut, usually there is a small amount of bearing race that is catchable with a drift punch to get it started. I have had instances where a die grinder was used to create a small relief in one or two spots under the race to permit catching the race to drive it. :).

Thanks, Kevin!
Outstanding!
Thank you! I am glad you were able to enjoy the video. :)
But what happens if you don't have a lip or shoulder to tap against? My 52 vw bus has a race like this cant tap it out...

Been banging away for several hours now and it isn't budging. Feel like there's a step missing...
There's Always a lip on a race.
