No joke- if I lived close to Mark, I'd bring the beer, pizza, and tunes to the garage.

Another alternative is to use a hand impact tool. Only downsize is it will put stress on the countershaft bearing. If you’re willing to go this route; HF sells them. Make sure to get the 1/2’ drive set. That way you can use an impact socket. Good luck!

Link to the HF hand impact. These come in handy for other jobs too.

I do actually already have that, I was using it previouosly to deal with ancient screws that i'm worried about stripping out.

Does that actually have a better chance at working than a power tool?

Got a Harbor Freight near you? If not- Amazon or Ebay will work... or you can probably find something used that will do the job on your local Facebook Marketplace or Craig's List..

unfortunately, for the money any new tool will cost me I could just about pay the shop an hour of labor to swap it out for me, which It looks like is exactly what's going to happen. I'd rather do that than risk making it worse with my continued fumbling.

I can bring pizza but i have no taste in beer and nobody likes my tunes

Scotch and Tom Waits and pizza with Pineapple on it is all youd get.

Anyone that doesn’t like beer just hasn’t tried the right beer for their taste.

There is a TREMENDOUS vast variety of flavor profiles. More so than any other food / drink category I’d wager.

Sweet, sour, bitter, fruity, coffee, chocolate, nutty, bourbon, lemon, orange, berry, oats, grass, light, dark, crisp, thick, dry, creamy, and more…. if you give a list of flavor profiles you like…there is a beer for you.

I have yet to find one that doesnt taste like beer...the tasting like beer part is the problem. Its kinda like coffee. No matter what you put in coffee its gonna still mostly taste like coffee.

Compare that to the warm buttery golden sweet magic flavor that is good scotch and theres just no contest.

Went out last night to a bike night, had ONE guinness, thats it. Im def a 1 and done beer guy, but i make it count.
