There is one area I think you may have left out, and pictures of that would be useful. After unbolting the bearings on both sides, before you can maneouvre it out I think you have to unbolt the two way clutch thrust bearing in the center of the shaft: the shaft won't move sideways until you do.
Hi Grumpy, I'm a bit confused as to where/what you mean re the two way clutch thrust bearing, can you see it from any of the above pictures
