The bearing is held in place with the collar. Use a punch and knock it clockwise to loosen it from the bearing if you are facing the bearing. Now, there is a good chance the bearing is seized to the crank, I had to use a bearing puller to get it off. This would be a good time to replace the bearing and locking collar.
