<< 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.
