Thanks for that Dezzy.
Not a problem though, I did blacksmithing at Beachley along with various other things they taught us at Army College.
Did it this morning. Gripped the arbor in the vice, used a culinary blowtorch on the core drill base not near the cutters for a few seonds. Placed a short tommy bar through the core drill and tapped it with a two and a half pound ball pein. One tap moved the arbor in the vice so I tried it from the other side and it spun undone.
I was able to hold the core drill in my hand straight away. Surprised really that it was so easy. Obviously hit the sweet spot first go.
Anyone need their horse shoeing?

All I need now is an SDS drill, have to see if there is a Santa.
