Agree. And every new rotor I have ever bought had races installed but I have never used them. I always use the race that came with the new bearing. I like to use those (or the old race) as install tools for the new ones. I take a cutoff wheel and cut it through. Then flip that over small edge to small edge and you have a nice tool to install the new race evenly. If it is driven/pressed into the bore some it is easy to remove since it is not solid. There are tools to install races and seals but if you don't have those, this method is free.
