Stuck Race

While disassembling an MMI pedestal pump that had failed bearings, the outer race from one of the bearings stayed behind in the pump housing. It moved partway out before the bearing disintegrated.

Now I have this race stuck in the housing. It's too narrow to use the wood dowel tool to tap it out (just chews the edge off the dowel) , and I don't want to use a steel drift pin for fear of scarring up the inside of the housing because of the angle required to reach it through the impeller chamber hole.

Any clever suggestions?
