I don't know if you know this trick, but just grab a cutting wheel and make a diagonal cut through the entire race. Around 95% through, as close as you can get, then grab a hammer and chisel and give a good smack until it cracks apart and relieves tension.
Wear a face shield and coat though. I've had pieces shoot into my arms like a bullet.
Was on a spindle where I didnt have enough room to get a cutting wheel in it. I was surprised that getting it glowing it still wouldn't move, but at that point I was probably also expanding the metal underneath. So I just went a cuttin
