I have a busted rear axel bearing that shattered in a savage flux Integy rear Hub. The outer rim of the bearing is stuck in the hub and I have no idea how I'm going to take it out. It's quite jammed in there.....here is a pictures:

Ya I agree, heating the hub a bit then lightly punch it outta the bore, best clean up the face a bit with some emery paper or a small hand file before fitting in a new set of bearings...
 
Alright.... It's in the oven at the moment but I'm just gonna use pliers for now.... Wish me luck.
 
This is what I did with a stuck clutch bearing once:

I got a piece of dowel that was oversized for the bearing, trimmed it a bit so that it would still be a tight fit. Tapped it into the bearing. Flipped it over, screwed a wood screw into the dowel to expand it to an even tighter fit, then wiggled the bearing out. I did use penetrating fluid to lubricate the bearing and possibly swell the dowel.
 
There is more than one way to skin a cat this is for sure, put the hub on a piece of wood with a hole in it larger than the bearing race and punch it out with a small pin punch......
 
Ok I got it out.... I drilled a hole from the bottom of the hub upwards to where the drill bit intercepts the bearing. I got a hex driver and hit it with a hammer until the bearing broke. I got a flat head screw driver and hammered the bearing out. I sanded everything down and now it's good. I will post a picture soon.
