It looks like either this is a 30 minute job for most or a horror story.
I beat the heck out of the end with the smaller nut for about 4 hours, lubricated it, torched it etc. It will only come out so far.
So I gave up and started on the larger end (34 mm nut). I got the biggest puller I could find at Autozone and it was too small. I ended up having to cut one end of the puller off to get it to fit but cut it too much so it eventually slips off.
In looking at a youtube video for this, it looks like the smaller end will get lose, but you need to get the larger side off first.
I am frustrated with this. It looks like I need a top dollar puller and a top dollar impact gun to move this thing. Autozone advises that they don't have a pitman puller to rent either. Even with a 3/4 drive ratchet things hardly turn.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
