I took some cake cutters of a mates car recently. Heres how, fit a 19 mm 1/2"drive socket to a long extension bar and place the socket over the locking bolt and hit very hard several times with a lump hammer until the socket goes fully home. Now waggle the extension bar from side to side until you can withdaw the socket from the locking bolt. now repeat the proceedure with an 18mm socket and finally ending up with a 17mm or maybe even a 16mm socket at which point you will have enough purchase on the bolt to turn and remove it. This method will annihilate the hardended
steel ring. :y Good luck!
