OK, I'm stumped, not a hard feat. 
I need to get the shaft with the gears attached out of the bearing and the bearings removed. The shaft with the gears is pressed into the bearing and the bearing is pressed into the mill top. There appears to be a rubber or plastic hole filler that covers the opposite side of the bearing and shaft end. Am I correct in assuming I need to remove the two hole covers and press the shaft/gear combination out of the bearing and then press the bearing out of the mill top? That means I would need a hydraulic press, which I don't yet have. Would controlled use of a hammer and punch be acceptable since I do not care about the bearings since they will all be replaced? I do care about the end of the shaft but mainly the lead-in edge for the bearing. Or, do I need to make yet another custom puller, or in this case pusher?
I need help.
