I've go a noisy bearing in the main gear shaft, but decided to buy the transmission rebuild kit and do the whole thing. The problem is, is that the clutch won't slide off the the transmission shaft? I've even used a puller, but the thing won't budge? I'm afraid to use too much force and strip out the bolts holes or maybe even crack the aluminum clutch housing. I was under the impression, per the factory manual, that the clutch would have just slid off, but it didn't? Does anybody have any ideas? If not, then I'll use a torch to heat the aluminum housing around the shaft while tightening up on the puller. After all, the worse I can do is ruin it...which I don't want to do.
