Thanks again both.

Took one of those wire wool soap pads out of the kitchen and scrubbed it up a bit so I could see what I was doing first.

After that it was pretty easy to use a flat head screwdriver and rubber mallet to knock the bearing race off.

Crown race next...

Leave the crown race alone!

Or rather it doesn't have to come out.

The sealed bearing sits on top of the crown race.

Yes on second thoughts I had the new sealed bearing and it fits onto the crown race perfectly.

Also once I cleaned up the crown race it was in decent condition, no pitting or anything so I independently came to the same conclusion as you.
