The white plastic part is not the problem [I put it on to protect the threads on the shaft] I can't remove the bearing from the plastic housing until I get the armature out of the actual bearing. It obviously comes out through the front as the hole in the plastic housing is smaller on the inside. The bearing has been soaking in WD all night it still won't budge. I have even tried [as much as I dare] heating the shaft with a hot air gun still nothing.
