Good Day To All

Has anybody taken a Eq5 mount apart to replace the RA bearing ?

I need to get to the Ra bearing to lube or replace it.

I have attached photos to show how far I have come with stripping it out.

All grub screws and such has been removed, I just cannot get the shaft to slide out from the housing, and I do not want to force it this stage.

Any advice please, the mount is of unknown brand as I bought is second hand.

Thank you for your time

Andre
PS. I have a link that shows a Eq mount in its various components , but it is the physical removal of the shaft that I am having a problem with.
