Did you not see the link to the manual on the adapter page, it explaines how to remove the pilot shaft. If you don't have a socket deep enough just cut the pilot shaft off as close as you can to the hub, then remove what's left with a regular socket then cut it again the way the instructions show.

Let you see one titanium adaptor for a different engine and this is what you came up with?
The instructions look pretty simple to follow, and the tools breakdown is about as well laid out as could be done. I think my point about the instructions was pretty well made. If you look at them you can easily follow them.
