Default RE: Saito FA 45 Prop Driver Removal - Help

After a long search of 4 stores for a bettery terminal puller, I finally found a faucet puller with enough chuck length to get around the prop driver. I had to modify the hook radius to get maximum mating force on the very thin back lip of the driver. I tightend it all up, turned the handle and it popped off without any heat !.....I was all set to get my torch actually , thinking it not best to put too much pressure on that alu piece alone...when it popped.
Now to get the crank and bearings out...will heat up and start tapping....so far so good
