I have done exactly this a few times using a die drinder and an abrasive
cut-off disk. Work carefully and don't cut into the knuckle with disk.
As the cut is almost through, I have taken a small cold chisel and
applied it to the gap created by the cutoff disk. I position the chisel
as if to spread the gap and to spin the bearing race on the shaft (I
hope this is clear). A few wacks and if that doesn't work I use the
disk a bit more, a few wacks, more disk cutting, a few wacks until it
comes free.
It is messy, but it works.
