If the car is together put it in 4th and chock or strap the rear wheels down
to your floor or ramp, take the bonnet off and use the biggest ratchet you
have with a scaffold bar over the end of the handle. Put an old cushion over
the inner wing on the side the pole will fall.

As  you swing like a monkey on the end of the pole you will feel it give then
the job is nearly done. Wind out as normal from then on. The thread is a unf
and gets bound tight ... Throwing on some heat with a torch or a chemical
releaser will help too.

Normally the hub is a tight interference fit too, so you need to carefully
extract this to avoid mulls ring the end of the crank.

Happy days.
