Good luck with your project.


I’m worried about punching it out as I’d hate to damage it. Is this a part that should be replaced every time?

I’m planning next to make a puller out of a piece of strapping with a few bolts, thread the bolt I have up the middle, and screw it out.

If that doesn’t work I’ll get drastic.
