Just make sure you don't bend the crank when you hit it

Crank in the freezer, bearing collar in just boiled water, just a few slight taps required with correct size drift / long socket supporting the crank against your body as per Stickys book or use a web spacer to stop any twisting

On on that didn't go well. Removing the bearing race with a grinder, put hose clamps on for protection and went slowly and carefully but no crack line appeared , at least to my old eyes, and have ended up putting a flat on the nearing surface of the crank. Guess I'll get a new crank built at least can rescue the con rod ! Painful lesson learnt !
Cheers

I think your crank will be fine like that just use some bearing retainer

PS agree with shocky that'll clean up.
