So I am doing the rear drive shaft upgrade on my 96 disco.
I am having MUCHO trouble getting the centering pin off. It's stucker than shit! I have been hitting it with PBblaster regularly for a week, I tried propane heat, and a special puller tool that a friend made.
THe tool is a piece of pipe with a steel cross bar and an 8mm bolt. THe bolts strip out and the centering pin has been stripped and re-threaded too many times.
I have an aceteleyne torch that I have been using to heat it, but I am afraid to get too agressive with it in fear of damaging the diff.
I started trying to cut the flange off with a cut off wheel.... I have been at it for an hour, gone through 3 wheels and made a bunch of sparks.... But not much progress.
Any ideas????
