Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
I attempted this on my VY SS (manual) today and it was not to be. Seems I have one of those shafts that just will not separate, even tried the hydraulic press at the mechanics up the road. Very inconvenient but what can you do, I have a reco jobbie inbound with new bearing and balanced for $330 due tomorrow, which considering my plans is probably for the best.
I didn't need the E20, found that there's enough movement via the uni and trans output
ftergot it out using the E20, now having difficulty in separating the two shafts. I cut off all the rubber and budged it about 3mm by using chisel between the bearing and the shaft, but run out of something to wedge apart.
Where did you get the recon shaft from?
