Its a force fit into the bore of the steering box from below.
Last night I had an epiphany and went out to look at it again. I chose a washer that was slightly smaller then the diameter of the top of the race. I was able to get it to catch on a very small amount of the lip at the top of the race. Then I used a screwdriver to wedge it in place so it wouldnt dislodge easy. Using a 4' section of pipe from above I gave it a sharp whack with a sledge and it moved ever so slightly to give it enough room to take a thinner washer and give a broader area to smack the race with.
Three blows from the sledge and it popped right out, good stuff!
I appreciate the ideas and help.
Thanks, Jeff
