IIRC they are like the ones on a 205; It passes through an intermediate bearing which sits in the lower engine mounting attached to the block.

There are two bolts which are an L shape and clamp the bearing into the engine mount. You need to undo the nuts on the back of the bolts allowing you to push them far enough out that you can then turn them through 180 degrees which will allow you to get the shaft + bearing out.

If the shaft hasn't been out for a long time it may need some "encouragement". If you can't get the bearing out then you may need to unbolt the entire mount + bearing assembly and take it out that way.
