The races are not supposed to press into the housing end like a front wheel bearing, otherwise they would be a mo-fo to impossible to ever change out. I think they are supposed to come out with the axles.

I just recently upgraded to these A20 bearings on my car, then promptly had to remove the axles to swap out my diff. On the passenger side the inner race came out with the axle with just a couple tugs of the flange, kind of like my old ball bearing bearings used to come out.

The driver side, the inner race stayed in the axle end while the rest of the bearing came out. I tried to get the inner race out a few different ways but it was just sort of hung up at one point (probably the seal itself hanging up on the housing end) so I just seated the race back into the back of the housing end. When it came time to reinstall the axle, I greased the bearing up real well and just slid the bearing back into the race. I hope the seal seals itself to the housing end again...time will tell.
