I would let someone else do this for me (I don't weld).

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.

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.
