[QUOTE="AZGDOGG, post: 507901, member: 31349"] Airshot is right, need a puller with strong but thin enough jaw tips to get between that hub and the helm housing and get in the habit of putting the nut back on the shaft but only flush with the threaded end of the shaft to press against. If you are going to reuse the threaded shaft of any parts that require pressing or pulling apart it aids in not damaging the threads or enlarging the end of the shaft. (mushrooming, damage can be just as bad as hitting with a hammer) And of course soaking the area between the shaft and hub with a quality rust penetrant cannot be overstated which it looks like you have done. Really stubborn items may also require heat to expand them, Harbor Freight has decent priced ones. [/QUOTE]
