However, you may be able to cut the outer race first, remove it and
the balls or rollers, then have a pretty shallow cut on the inner race.

While the Dremel doesn't have the power of a large grinder, it has to
remove much less metal---as the wheels are only about 1/16" thick.

If you look at the pix in the 2011 refit gallery, you'll see that all is
gone other than the inner part which rests on the shaft. That I did with
the grinder/cutoff wheel. That part is also the one I've been anti-seizing
and hitting, to no avail.

That (the grinder/cutoff wheel) is what I'll use for the remainder. I've
got the depth from top to shaft with a micrometer and I'll use that to mark
several places on the wheel which, spinning, will look like a circle. I'll
never go deeper than that, and, as the wheel wears, it will actually be
short of where I need to be, so I should be OK with that. I'll do a final
cut(s - opposing sides) with another markup on the wheel once I have the
majority of the cut accomplished..

Thanks for all the thoughts and suggestions. The moment of truth is at
hand...
