993 964 Steering Rack rebuild - help!

[archtech]

Working on disassembling a steering rack for a 993. I can’t seem to get the input shaft to come out. I got everything else off and watched videos and people just pull it out. Mine is not budging. Is there some sort it trick I can try? Thanks!

Got it. Loosened it with tap tap on the side of the bearing then pull hard standing on it!

Make sure there aren't any grooves worn in the rack body from the teflon seals
