does anybody have experience in disassembly/rebuilding a honda 5518 steering gear assembly? i have mine out and the manual makes it look like the two halves of the housing should just come apart.... i'm afraid to pry to hard as they are an aluminum casting. i tried using a press to push on the two shafts and that did not go anywhere. the two halves are "loose" in that i can just barely get screwdriver blades in the seam, but about a 1/8in is all it will spread before it would require hitting it harder than i'm ready for.... any advise would be appreciated.

I got it apart, little heat, little percussive force in just the right place (on the shaft) and going very slow - got it apart.
