I thought you talking about the kingpin?
I welded a nut onto mine and used a cheater bar on a socket wrench.

I think this is what you are talking about. There is a snap ring behind the bearing. Looks like if you took a block of wood and place it on the shaft and tap it with a hammer the bearing would come off. See screenshot below. Hope this helps.

Better problem definition is needed.

These may help:

Also if you don't have the service manual there's some in a sticky thread in the Branson section of this site.

Yes I am saying put a piece of wood on the end of the shaft and tap the wood with a hammer. The snap ring should not break. The snap ring would hold the bearing and shaft should go inside the housing. Then you can remove the bearing.
