If you see ANY cracks in it, especially little arc-shaped ones near
the steel sleeves that the bolts go through, then replace it.
Btw the most effective way to separate those things is to get a foot
long piece of steel that is the diameter of the bolts, stick it into
the bolt hole (partway) and pull it back and forth

There is a photo on the net someplace showing the results of
