PTO leaking around seal

1. Locked the PTO in gear.
2. Unbolted the bearing cage at the rear of the pto shaft (Probably wouldn't have to do this, but we wanted to make sure it didn't hang on that).
3. Rigged a slide hammer on the end of the PTO shaft by puting a bolt through the hole used for hooking up the implement PTO.
4. Hit with a slide hammer while twisting the PTO shaft with a BF pipewrench. This moved it out about a 1/16 inch.
5. Unlocked the PTO Shaft.
6. Heated the PTO shaft with a acyteleyne torch for a minute, then hit with the slide hammer and a pry bar at the stuck end. Came off within a minute with this technique.
7. ****TO ensure that the metallic content of the PTO shaft is not compromised MAKE SURE to pour a half can of Natural Light on the heated shaft, Bud Lite can probably be used in a pinch, but the service manual calls for Natty Light.
8. Ground down the high spots on the "inner shaft" coming out of the pto unit. The long outer PTO shaft now fits over the inner shaft nicely.
9. Talk about putting a wheelie bar on the tractor but then get tired and go to bed.
