Thanks

I had to take off the yoke and use a punch drift and a 2# shop hammer. Get down on the race and drift it off, once it starts to move it will keep goin. Put some type of Neversieze on the shaft for the new one and it will be more better the next time.

I took mine to a mmachine shop. they just pressed the old piece off and the new bearing on. I fought it with a hammer as well. I could have save an hour if I had just gone straight to the shop.

As a last resort, you could try det cord or C-4. It'll come flying off of there like a bat!! It will also feel real good up until the point you realize how damage you've done to the rest of the vehicle (Not to mention, blowing a hole in your concrete).

Would you believe that some people think I over-react when I get angry?? Go Figure!

I say take it to a drive line shop. IMO, it isn't worth bleeding over. (don't ask)
