The problem is that this is a pretty snug fit to start with... if rust has
developed in the bore around that ring, it usually has it set firm. I've
only once (out of 4 times) removed it whole. The two hole trick works, only
I usually try to extract it with the screw. This only works if you you use
a small enough screw to prevent swelling the edge when it's screwed in,
otherwise spliting it will work too. Do be careful not to score the inside
of the bore in the process.
