Since you say your 'bearing separator is destroyed' (I guess you mean the ball cage), I take it it's an adjustable BB with the lockring and you've already removed the left cup.
If so, the right crank arm is what's holding the BB axle in the frame. If you pound on the right end of the axle, the right cup will act as an anvil under the crank arm (it'd be a good idea to lay the bike down and chock up the left side of the BB).
