if you cut it into sections, try a tungston carbite drill bit. and smack the **** outta it with a small sledge and a punch inbetween drill sessions. it shouldnt be too hard. gl

Is there any sort of press that I could fashion and use if need be? I'm gonna try the hammering method again tomorrow when the parts come in. Hopefully the SiliKroil helps. Think of the difference from WD40 up to PB Blaster. That difference again is Kroil. Unfortunately, carbide drill bits don't seem to be available at HD/Lowes/Sears except for masonry bits :/

you could try using a small bolt and using a c-clamp to try and push it out. i doubt it'll work but i guess it's worth a shot lol. try one of those drill bits in the link below. you can put your zip code in at the top right to filter out what's not at your local store

Unless you came up with a mad, powerful press, usually pounding works better at least for all of my front suspension problems. It would be hard to make a press that would fit in that space, and on the small surfaces, but yet large enough so you could crank on it.
