yup thats what i did,also it got the stiffing plates made difference on cornering.
I have a 1-3/8" tap I screw in and press it out. Much quicker.
The 1/38 tap ....wish I had thought of that!!!!

Wish I'd thought or known about the tap trick as well.. instead of me modifying Mancini's puller to work.

How would I used this method?
You press out the pin and rubber first then screw the tap into the outer shell and press it out.

As a shade tree mechanic the way I always got those pesky outer shells out was to re-assemble a hacksaw so the blade went through the hole. As soon as it’s been cut through it slides right out. Log splitter as a press, torch to melt out rubber.
The welded washer didn't work on mine. I used a chisel and hammer. It probably took 20 minutes on each one. Takes some skill.
