You can use an internal pipe wrench:

For heaven's sake, put a type4 and a Porsche 5-speed in there. . . It's the right thing to do!!

steel and aluminum/magnesium like to weld themselves together over time.

heat is one thing that can help them come apart. a "farmer fix" I learned from a customer for getting stubborn bearing races out, was to mig weld a bead around the race to shrink the bearing in the bore and they pop, and fall right out. works great on my Porsche 944 trailing arms.
