With Retainer Plate, Item #3, removed and Bearing Retainer, Item #23, removed you should be able to gently tap the shaft back and forth to remove the bearings. Bearing #7 coming out to the left being pushed by the splines and bearing #23 may need to move the the right and once the shaft is removed it may come out to the left as well.
Have a good look for how far B#22 can go to the right, and AFAIR nothing should need a 4lb microadjuster.
If this isn't working don't get impatient, others will be here soon.
