After doing the disassembly you see in the below pictures, I grabbed one half of the metal pieces that sit in the LCA to center the guide rod and used that to pound on with my 3 lb hammer. All I did is place the uppermost part of the arm on a black of wood, grab the spindle and take about 6-8 smacks to it and it dropped right out.

What does everyone think of the condition of the races/bearings?

Looking down from the grease seal side, you can see some gouging close to the outer race.
