I couldn't get mine apart either, took it to a Kubota dealer and they had trouble also, but were able to get it apart. If you have a place that works on hydraulic cylinders, they may be able to do it.

There are wire snap ring on each end inside of the barrel. Take a piece of pipe and drive end glands into the barrel, remove wire rings and drive glands out using a punch inside of the threaded hole in the shaft.
