Sam,
I have always used force. I arrange the third motion shaft so that
the outer shell of the bearing is resting against a pair of wooden
blocks with some clearance between the front end of the shaft and
the floor. Then I place a piece of hard wood like oak against the
back end of the third motion shaft and hit the block with a hammer.
Works every time and the only part which may get damaged is the
bearing which I planned to replace anyway.

In disassembling the complete mainshaft assemble, I ran into trouble
getting
the bearing housing with the bearing off the shaft ( the bearing in front
of the 1st gear). I have removed the circlip from the shaft and the
abutment collar ( the two piece washer that fits in the grove in front of
the bearing). Should I apply force or am I missing something.
Thanks in advance.
