Denford Viceroy Pillar Drill - quill feed shaft problem

I've tried heat, a puller and a hammer to free the housing from the shaft but all without effect. A drawing on the "Denfordata" site suggests that there is a circlip on some models but on mine there's nothing visible. If I can't get the damn thing apart I'll take a saw to something and then either make a new spring housing or repair the feed shaft, but I'm hoping that someone here will reveal the secret that I have missed ... ?

There weren't any hidden fasteners but a piece of the housing bore had broken off and welded itself to the quill feed shaft - very strange. I reamed the hole and cleaned-up the shaft and housing in the lathe - everything now moves freely and I don't think I'll need to bush the housing.

Sounds like despite the pretty major issue, there's little in the way of major repair work so hats off, you can't beat my 2 favourite tools persuasion and persistence (a big hammer and keep hitting it)
