Nissan, Model:MCP1F2A25LV

I am trying to put in new steer links. The bearing resides in the spindle and the yoke on the steer cylinder has a bushing. My problem is I can't get the spherical bearing out for the steer link (on the spindle) I do not see any snap rings or retention screws. I have tried a hammer and socket, heat, floor jack, WD-40, and nothing seems to do it. I can wiggle the bearing up and down but it just will not come out of the seat. The top of the bearing sits flush with the top of the spindle so it doesn't appear to be obstructed. Is there anything I'm missing? This is a really terrible design. They should have put the bearing on the link and the bushing in the spindle.

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
