Thats the pilot bearing.
There easy to remove. Best way is to get a pilot bearing puller or a slide hammer. I know If theres a Kragen/Schucks/Checkar around you they loan them out. You just have to give them a credit card number so if you don't return the tool they charge you for it.

A hammer and chisel works good too.
It isn't splined, they are small rollers.
Test fit the convertor in the crank before you go any farther.

How?
I would think all you would do is force it in farther, or distort it making it even harder to remove

Have you actually done this?

I know if its a bushing its just bronze which is kind of soft, but if its a bearing thats going to have a hardend steel race in it. Either way I don't see how you could cut it in half since the bore on the crankshaft will keep the bushing from expanding as you try to hammer a chisel in it.

Use a small chisel and cut down the side. I have done this many times.
If the bushing moves it will bottom out and just keep pounding.
Or you can try a die grinder and cut it out.
