Help pulling bearings etc off lay shaft in a 5sp?

I'm having trouble pulling some pressed on pieces on the lay shaft in my 5sp. I need to get them off to change the synchros. The parts that need to come off as you can see in the photo are under and behind 5th gear on the lay shaft. The piece between the bearing and spacer has a tapper on the backside so I can't get a puller on it. I've tried a puller on the whole lot (off the synchro slider pulling 4th gear, the bearing and all those little bits but just won't budge.

Anyone have experience with doing this?

I have a puller at work which will do it, you can come down and use it.

Cheers Steve, I may be up that way next week but.
I'm going to try and press it off, just have to setup some pins and tubes in the press. But if that fails I'll hopefully drop by. Luckily I'm not in a rush as I don't have a car to stick this box in as yet.

Problem being I need to reuse the shaft, and spacers and bearing... So thats a no go.

I do these all the time, the safest way, too not damage anything, is to use a press, take off 3rd, 4th and the bearing in one go.

what about a bearing puller, type of puller, not the leg type. ie.
