Cock-Eyed Lower Stem Bearing Race CB350 K4

While attempting to hammer the lower bearing race out of the stem, I managed to get it cock-eyed.
I am attempting to hammer it back in, thinking that might be easier than trying to get it out.
No joy.
Would heating the race help? It seems like that would only expand it and make it tighter.
Or shall I attempt to saw a kerf in the race and pound it the rest of the way out?
Any help would be appreciated. I am really "stuck" this time.

No, but I was thinking of trying that. Thank you for affirming that idea. I think I will direct the heat particularly at the place where the race is cocked.
Thank you for the information. I will give the hammer a try.
Thank you for the encouragement. I will keep after it.
That makes sense. I will use the support and my air hammer; worth a try.
