The inner race is on the stem, which is the part the OP`s tool was used for.

The outer race is in the frame, on later model bikes there is a notch in the shoulder in the frame, so you can drive the outer race out with a drift.

Looks similar to the Motion Pro Steering Stem Bearing Tool.

this is "pressed" onto the stem:

after you cut the cage off and remove the rollers, i pulled it off with my plastic pipe.
