I have removed the hex nut and have removed the shaft pump out of the way.
Now I need to figure out how to remove the bearing out. I see that the bearing goes out towards the pump end rather than the hex nut end. However, I also see that there are (6) places where it appears staked (flared) and looks like locks the bearing. Is this ring that I see on top of the bearing threaded in or do I just pop it up and out?

would appreciate inputs..

thx
