Question How to press a shaft out of a bearing?

Whats up guys, got a lil problem.

Im in the process of rebuilding my P/S pump, and I cant for the life of me get the damn bearing off the pump drive shaft. Ive tried positioning it in a vise and hammering the end with a rubber mallet to no avail. Even tried a torch. Next up im thinkin freezing it...

Anybody got an outside the box idea? (like pink an purple site decals? )

Thanks!!

I protected the threads with a board, and struck it with a big friggin hammer. Two whacks was all it took!

no problem man!

And it worked fine, just makes a weird, intermittent squeaking, crappy noise. Most noticable during cold starts. I knew it was the pump after I installed all new belts and what not
