If you have a welder, run a bead around the roller contact area on the race, this will shrink the race and it should fall out of the bore. I have used this method personaly and it does work.
I would not recomend re-using the race with a new roller, the bearing sets are machined to very tight tolerances when made. by mixing a used race with a new roller you are just asking for pre-mature failure, unless you want to replace it again soon.

A chisel will work if it has to come out. But I would look at it real good and check for damage, that is very hard steel and a lot of times the race is not hurt. If it is not damaged I would just leave it in and use it with the new bearing. I have done this many times and could not tell the difference.

Try freezing the outer race while heating the housing.

heat the metal around with a torch and knock it out with a sharp chisel

a race puller
and sometimes you can use a punch and knock one side of it and knock it out like you can with a freeze plug
but it depends..
good luck
