I'm a big fan of Georges Garage tools, maybe not the cheapest but can't beat the quality and service there. If you call George will answer the phone, pretty much a one man operation and quick on the shipping. If it shows up on his website it's in stock. Lots of choices out there.

I got this one off "FleaBay" last June. Inexpensive and worked like a charm. I had also used a couple thrust bearings, made it a wee bit easier to twist in and out. They aren't necessary just my little experiment.
Around that time period I has also bought the inner cam bearing puller/pusher, cam plate bearing press plate set and runout plate and gauge. So far I have found all the ebay tools to work well and saved me $$$$$.
Maybe if I did that type of work daily, had a shop etc. I might spend more but for me, no more than I will use them " Jack-pot" good luck
Here is the one I got.

Assuming the opposite side bearing was removed, I would remove the spacer (tube) and then locate a suitable diameter piece of pipe which matched the spacer or bearing diameter. Schedule 40 plastic ideally. Use a deadblow or plastic body hammer to hit the pipe and drive out the damaged race.
If the opposite bearing was still in place I'd give consideration to whether or not I should try removing it myself, vs taking to a shop for removal...and then work on the damaged bearing race after.
All in theory, as I have not encountered this situation.

If the bearing is just bad, you use the puller. If the cage has disintegrated. you can try to space the ***** and use the puller.
On late wheels if only the outer race is left, you can't drive it out unless you MIG weld in a washer then tap it out from the other side. After welding it may simply fall out..
