That's a tough one. The last time I had this happen on a Pontiac 4-speed crankshaft, I had to cut the outer bearing race with a small disc grinder and then using a hammer & small chisel knock the race out, taking care not to knick the crank itself. The following picture is what I was faced with, but unfortunately, I don't have pix of the procedure I just described.
Good luck! And wear eye protection, too!

P.S. By the way, does anyone have some tips for getting the pilot bearing out? It is stuck in the crankshaft recess.
