RCK60D-26BX How do I get the Gears Out?

[sphanco]

I am rebuilding a RCK60D-26BX gearbox because the vertical shaft has play from side to side and is wearing the pulley as well as throwing the belt. I have the gear box off the mower deck and have removed the top cap, bottom seal, horizontal seal, and horizontal c-clip. I do not understand how to remove the shafts. All of the videos i could find show another hole in the case opposite of the PTO shaft that they use to remove the horizontal shaft but that does not exist in the RCK60D-26BX gearbox. There is another c-clip on the top of the vertical shaft holding it in place but I cannot get to it with out taking the horizontal shaft out first. Any advice?

Working through the large opening in the top, drive the bearing for the input shaft out of the case.

Thank you! It took a little persuasion but worked with a punch and hammer and managed to get the bearing out along with the input shaft. The rest was pretty easy to get disassembled. I had to order a few more parts after I got everything inspected and I now have it put back together and everything runs great.
