If you've got a deep ditch/dyke or reservoir with water dunk them in there for a week. That's what farmforce told us to do a few years ago on a trailed press. We thought they were having a joke but they literally fell off when we pulled them back out. Can't promise it will work for you but if you're not in a rush it's worth a go.
Done this. It works.Needs soaking, up it in the pond for a week.

Shaft and cast rings now soaking in the pond. Frame and bearings are in workshop.Won't that just wreck the bearing as well ?
Got them out the pond today and into workshop. got one of with pullers and hammer. Had to smash the other one, the water hadnt got 1/4 inch under the centre boss. Also it looks like a small piece of cast had come of the ring and welded itself to the shaft! it would never have come of.Lucky you our bearings are between rings.
