Shift collar removal

[mccollum007]

Hey guys, so I'm working on disassembling the van tilt I recently picked up to freshen it up and repaint it. I've ran into a problem with removing the shifter collar in the picture below. Im assuming I need to remove the bearing/tilt assembly first so Ive removed the bearing nut and tilt spring but I cannot get the assembly to budge. What step(s) am I missing to get the shift collar removed??
