Again, not an engineer, so huge grain of salt.

That's what I was thinking, but I'm not an engineer either. Maybe I should find one!
Jeff NJ, I would love to find a shop to do this. I'm tired of messing with it and I want to hand the car over to someone and get it back next week just finished and ready to drive. I'm having a hard time finding anyone in town who is familiar with the setup though.
maybe I have to find a smaller bearing puller.
