Mine was impossible to get off by hand. Didn't matter what I did! Hit it with everything I had available, nearly gave myself several hernias and then decided to just buy a puller off eBay. Came off instantly with that - infact I was a little disappointed just how easily it came off when I'd had such a frustration-filled day trying to remove it without the puller. So my advice - get a puller! You can borrow mine if you like.

You have a PM. Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place,
so it doesn't take much to us off.

Did you try holding it at 3 and 9 and rocking back and forwards pushing down on one side while pulling up on the other several time over and over and visa versa ........it works for the 48 spline model.

During my enquiries prior to purchase everyone I spoke to said "Oh 36 spline you are going to have problems getting the old one off, they are a P.I.A." Don't make old people mad.
