<< I've taken to CUTTING off the old collars...
Using a dremel tool with a thin cutting disc at maximum rpm I'll
slice about 2/3rds the way through the collar. Then with the
axle supported on the backside of the collar... I'll use my
handy cold chisel and 4# sledge hammer. Takes a few blows into
the cut I started with the dremel tool, but the collar splits open
and falls off. >>
SAFETY TIP!!!... Use safety glasses and try to look the other way when
hitting with chisel. One of my rings took off across the shop on a flight
path of it's own when removing rings in this manner.
