Default Novus N200 Swashplate removal problems

Hey, I'm trying to replace the swashplate on my heli-max Novus N200 and am having a problem removing the main shaft from the body.

My problem is I do not know exactly how to disassemble it.

I was originally thinking to remove the bearing from the bottom of the unit to get the shaft free. Either that is not correct and you have to remove the top rotor assembly piece from the main shaft, or im dealing with a frozen or stuck bearing, because I can not get either of those parts off of the shaft. I've even tried using a wrench on the bearing and its not giving way.

Is there a way to remove the top part from the main shaft so I can easily get to my swashplate? If i take the bottom bearing off, i'll still have another bearing to pull off to get to the swashplate.

any help would greatly be appreciated. Also if my bearing is frozen, whats the best way for removal?

picture 3 - the entire rotor assembly

picture 4 - The bluish-greyish rotor assembly attaching to the shaft that im questioning can be removed

Got the bearing off from under the body of the copter after about 30 minutes of working with it. So i've fixed it. only the bearing broke as I was trying to put it back on so now gotta order some

Any tips on getting those bearings on/off? can I use oil? if so what kind?

after replacing the swashplate do I have to do anything as far as setup? i've seen some things about levelling and balancing your swashplate, but I don't believe I have to do anything such as this with it being FP.
