My understanding was that the '32 banjo consruction was different than the "A", using a pilot bearing inside the banjo.However possibly yours is a hangover from the "A".In any case, one way I've seen the situation resolved is the use of a short hydraulic jack inside the banjo pushing against the end of the drive shaft which has the nut reversed, and run flush to the end of the shaft to protect the threads. The bearing race will probably move out before the shaft pops loose, but the pinion won't go through the opening. I would think twice about re-using the bearings, though unless they're REALLY good - there's a lot more work than money there since it's apart.
