Hi. I am replacing my bearing at this time as well. I have not removed my shaft yet, it does not come out freely. Is it a splined fitting? I have been cautious trying to get it removed, and seeing yours removed gives me hope. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. sorry i dont have a solution for you to release yours, but i typicaly would use a bit of heat on the alloy to expand releasing the steel bearing. I have heard that this area can be a bit delicate so force is not recommended. Good luck.

There is a retaining ring holding the bearing in place that has to be removed first. Then the shaft with the bearing should pull out.

Item 150 in the diagram below.
