I don't want to tighten it even further because I have a feeling it'll just snap like the others, but the sucker just slides out when using the slide hammer.

Anyone know another method or maybe tell me if I'm doing something wrong? Really want this car back on the road. I miss my car .

does it have the auto bushing in it right now? if so get a air chisel and hit it from both sides.. it will pop right out. take 5 seconds.

if it is the 5 speed bushing, i used the special snap on pilot puller.
