That's quite the assemblage of stuff in the shop to create pull. Where there's a will there's a way. I like it. In hindsight, I wonder if putting the drive shaft assembly on a press would have worked. When the unit is on the bike I don't think it is bottomed out. It can move either way and the goal was just to break it free. It is just a thought. Unfortunately, I just thought about it today after following this post. We were all zeroed in on pulling, when pushing might have been been an easier option.
