Bushing or not?

Ok, sorry, maybe I'm blind, here is a close up of the bearing, from what I can see this bearing needs to come off the shaft it is pressed on in order to remove the upper column peice to get to the rotor, but you can not get to the bearing with a puller because it is inset? I do not see a clip other than the snap ring a removed a while ago from above it? But this bearing is on tight, I do not see a bushing? BTW thanks for all the help I just don't want to break something.

IIRC, I used a steering wheel puller in the bolt holes (THREADED ALL THE WAY IN TO UTILIZE ALL OF THE THREADS IN THE COLLAR) that held the signal light switch retaining plate. Make sure all the screws are out that hold the collar in place and GO EASY .........The collar will start to move relatively easily, and pull the bearing along with it. And, make sure that the snap ring in front of the bearing is removed before pulling.............Others may have a different approach.
