Several of us have had real problems separating the shaft from the flange. I
had to take mine to a machine shop where fortunately he had a special
puller lying around. His 12 ton hydraulic press couldn't separate the two.
Undo the 4 bolts and the shaft assembly slides right out. Don't try to
remove the flange under the car you're only asking for frustration.
