Rotoflex advice?

[Rover3]

What are some possible ways to remove the centralizing peg? I have been struggling with it all morning, and it won't budge ! Any advice would be very helpful. Thank-you

if your just removing the rotoflex, you don't need to remove the central peg. just remove the 6 ? bolts, slide it out and slide in the new one
take care

In order of preferred method.
1- Slide hammer
2- Torch
3- Dremel/cutoff tool
4- custom tool from rover
5- makeshift replica custom tool.

Slide hammer is quick and dirty. Need some form of adapter to get the slide hammer attached into the threaded portion of centering peg.

Thank-You for the advice! I am changing to a ujoint shaft. bri, what is a slide hammer, and can you buy it at any auto parts store? Thank-you!

Slide hammer is weight that slides on shaft. Shaft can accept different attachements.

You can get slide hammer from NAPA store. Thats where i got mine. For like 54$ or so. With LOADS of attachements.
One of attachements can be swapped with bolt in large wise-grip pliers (exact same thread size. No idea if its intended or not - but hey.. )

Then you just get bolt threaded as much as you can inside centralizing peg, hook pliers on it and start slide-hammering.. About 3 hits and it flies out.

And its got many uses around Disco.. You'll be blessing yourself for buying one..
