John Deere 850 Series Rake

I have an 850 series rake, not sure if it's an 851 or 858. I am replacing bearings and bushings in the tine bars. The bearings in the center of the left side drum are loose. I'm not sure how this is supposed to come apart. I don't see any set screw or nut holding the yoke on the shaft. I also can't see anything from inside the rake basket. Is the center thing a cap that needs drove off with a chisel to access a nut behind it?
If anyone has been here before any help is much appreciated.
Thanks
 

It appears from viewing parts schematic that the ball brgs are a press fit. Upon disassembly after inner race & balls are removed one can run a weld bead around inner portion of outer race & that bead will shrink outer race for easier removal.

It's the other end of the reel that needs the bearing replaced. The diagram is listed as End, Rear Reel.

OOPS :oops:
Have you unscrewed the u-joint from shaft(item 19)? With u-joint removed the brgs with housing should come off the shaft.

It's all good. No, that's what I needed to know if the yoke was threaded on the shaft or not. I will pull the u joint and try to un thread the yoke. Looks like it's a little my fault also, if I would have actually read the parts catalog I would have seen it was a threaded yoke.
Thanks

I got it apart, heated the yoke and put a pipe wrench on it, spun right off. A little persuasion to get the shaft out and cut the old bearings out with a torch. Thanks again
