I'll answer my own question here. Note that you have to destroy the bearing to do this, but it is easy and safe.

1) Remove the cage. I was able to pry mine apart and slowly remove the rollers.
2) Get a 2/3 prong puller from autozone/Oreileys (free to rent). I'm using a 2 ton puller.
3) Use 2 of the three prongs and use the side that is slimmest (the puller was flippable). These two prongs will fit in the grooves cut into the differential and hook under the inner bearing race.
4) I used a 5/8" bolt and two washers that fit the ID of the race as a reaction point for the puller.
5) Use a reaction arm bolted to one part of the diff and tighten the puller to remove the bearing race.

Should be easy to see from my picture how I got it to work.
