I don't have any. I was worried about heat damaging the wheel bearing.

Yeah it might, it's got to come out eventually though, in for a penny...
£1111 here for it
Do you accept Klarna?

Did you put the impact gun on the puller? Sometimes that shocks them.
Also if you do the bolt up on the puller f**k tight then smash the end of the bolt with a club hammer... repeat many times... that can also work.

So basically he should either put the handbag down and hit it or sell it to me for a grand? I agree.

I've had to use a sledge hammer before, they can be right dicks.
Can I buy it and strip it for parts?
Yup, I've done the same. I'm rarely trusted with a hammer that big though cos I'm more used to small tools.

Only if its super cheap and there are loads of other people who want to buy it to use mate.
Day 3 of fighting the driveshaft. My hydraulic press came and it did nothing. Went back to the original tool and managed to get it to pop. After a bit more fighting it's out.
I had to sacrifice some of the threads on the joint. I take it that it's not worth repairing the threads and just buying a new joint? Given the state of the old one, it's probably no bad thing.

Another hour or so this evening dodging the rain. I desperately wanted to clean around the rocker cover as it was caked with oil and grime everywhere. Stripped it back a little for better access to give it a good scrub. Its not perfect, but the rocker area looks a million times better.
Whilst I was there I replaced the turbo gasket seal and torqued to 22NM as per manual. Someone had previously tried to silicone the old one. Found a bolt for the hot side pipe that was also missing and had a general tidy up.
Got the old crappy broken badge off and replaced it with a new one. Looks a million times better.
Spent the last bit of time cleaning up some of the CV grease and grime that had gone everywhere. Looks like its going to rain the rest of the week so I will have to wait until the weekend to carry on.
Just for @YorkshireKyle

I have never known the weather to be so temperamental. It's been sunshine and then thunder and sunshine again all day. Managed to get a little bit of time between showers.
Scuttle off and the drivers side drain was blocked. Grabbed a pipe cleaner and unblocked it.
Got the brakes, shock, hub and arch liners out.
Lots of crap in the arch
Quick blast with APC, a brush and the hose and it looks a lot better.
I have booked Monday off so over a long weekend I'm hoping to get it all back together with all the new bits.
