and with polishing crank journals we used (when i was doing my trade at the railways) a leather strap like used in/for cut throat razors either by hand with the crank held still and dragging the strap back and forth or rotating the crank whilst holding the strap

As an aside I have used the same weld trick to remove gearbox spigot bearing outers from the end of the cranshaft.If you can’t pull the bearing out complete,then break it up and use weld to shrink the outer,when it cools the bearing just slips out.
