The advice that Mark gave was to remove the shift drum to lock the 2 shafts together by engaging 1st and 2nd gear and third and fourth this Will lock the Two shafts so you can loosen the 2 Large nuts at the trap door. Then tap the main shaft out the other side an 1/8" or so, so you can get a puller on the back side of the race.
They can be real stubborn.
Good luck....

Any time you drive a shaft and a ball bearing apart, it will cross load the bearing.
