Trying to change the bearings on the drive shaft

I have the wheels off and the transmission out.
But
The left drive wheel was attached on a splined shaft.
I have the left wheel off, but the bearing will not come off the shaft because of the spline on the end of the shaft.

How do I change the left bearing?
Does the spline thread on?
Do I have to disassemble the transmission?

Appreciate any help

The spline is obviously a different material, don't know if it is threaded on or pressed.

needs to come off to get bearing off.

or the splines are deformed due to use. Have you run a flat mill file over them to knock down any high spots? Or post some photos.
