Use a slide hammer with a threaded end on it.
Will do indeed. Every part that's removed gets put back together and placed in a box. Will work my way through it once it's all out.Will you keep a note of all the bearing numbers as you go Spencer ? I might rebuild my drill over the winter if its not too cold, but i can buy the bearings next time i am in the suppliers.

Out of interest. Did you remove the lower backgear bearing cap. Mine as dropped right through......
Yes abutment. Mine has fallen through. And doesn't appear to be any access.^^ I don't think I did, I can't see any photos of it. I've added text to my last post. Is the bearing cap the thing I call the abutment? if so I left it in place.
You would of thought it would sit of a machined ridge but there doesn't appear to be one. I will get some more details and pictures tomorrow.Where has it fallen through to?

The hole in the casting is blind, so I guess the cap either sits in the bottom of the hole, or on a machined ridge.
Yes. I will take a picture so you can see. At least you can remove both items . I will place the bearing seat from the top and install the lower bearing on the backgear shaft then install. This way there is less of a chance of pushing the seat through. A nightmare as you can only access it will the quill and fittings removed.That's good, I never noticed that void, noted for future reference.
That clutch member is like mine was, that's due to not turning the quill against the direction of location before starting the drill.
The bottom of my quill needed a bit of work, the key was mangled so I had to fashion a new one out of key steel and tidy up a few burrs. I suspect the high-Low lever was operated with the drill running.
Yes I see. It's a fiddly job but not to bad once you study it and suss it out. Also worth mentioning is the grub screw that sits in the front of the casing has another grub screw behind it.The clearance between the fibre gear and the clutch dog is tight, don't fit the lower bearing cap (abutment) too low or they will bind:
