It's been while!
I was keeping up with a lot of you on Instagram but about a year ago I deleted that because (with the exception of LC related content), it was such a time suck. So hello again to those of you that still peruse both, I'm not MIA...
Have you tried a slide hammer? I've had luck with the one you can rent from Auto Zone when I obliterated a bearing and only had the outer ring to grab onto. Good luck, that's some frustrating s***.
