So, what's a good approach to getting it unstuck? I've drilled out
most of the grub screw that should be holding it, I doubt that's the
issue now. It's just that the collar is very firmly stuck on the
shaft.

The coefficient of thermal expansion of Aluminium is about twice that of
steel, so I'd try heating it. Aluminium conducts much better too.

Hot oil might do it.

Sounds a good approach, I'll get my (relatively) new gas blow torch
onto the job.
