Thanks Sam, that is pretty much what I was thinking... I need to go and get myself a Dremel or cheaper alternative and, as you say, cut carefully througn the bearing metal. I don't have a Dremel yet, so it will be a few days till my next post. Thanks for your help and interest,.

Some progress made. The housing with a slot is just a collar in which the pin is seated, the pin being the bit that carries the bearing.
