dear bill, I PERSUADED my lower support shaft out  in this manner.
 #1    first i was able to slide a hack saw blade  in the space between the 
hub carrier and  the lower  sus.arm
 #2 move blade back and forth rapidly for what seems like an  eternity,a hint 
,your fingers cut much more readily than the steel.
 #3  when you have  seperated the carriers take a piece off very hard steel 
same size as shaft, support carrier firmly. place the steel  ram you have 
made against the  shaft that is still in the carrier, apply penatrating 
solvents/oils liberaly , the next step is the most important
 #4    take a large hammer or small mall (3 lb or so)   , you may need to 
heat the carrier shaft  to ease  extraction, AND POUND THE SHIT OUT OF 
IT!!!!!!!!!!!
     not very pretty but i worked for me       good luck
