A little bit of heat and some levers, screwdrivers and hammers (small ones).

In theory, a simultaneous whack from each side with two large hammers should crack it off.

A suitable bearing puller will soon shift that.

Or, degrease it and use Mole Grips to twist it off.

I used a slide hammer with a hooked end to get that bit off when I did one on my e36.

If you have nothing at all to lever it off with I'd very carefully attack it with a grinder.
cheers,

Buy a cheap 3 leg puller for a couple of quid, will be off in seconds.

Bit of heat and a tap will see that moving no trouble.
