Yep,one of those portable hydraulic deals.DiDnt really need it,a good whack with a big sledge hammer probably would have been easier and faster.It leaked for like 5 years,not a bad leak,but enough to let you know it as there and for the most part I just kept greasing it up and it would stop.Last tyear it got real bad and I finally had to do something about it.Jacked it up,took off the tire and put on the puller and it almost immeditaly came off.Enough gear oil had seeped into the splined area to act as a penetrating oil I guess because it was oily inside there.A buddy of mine has an I-6 that we couldnt get off.He took the bolt out and just rode around in circles like that and it eventually came loose.Thank goodness it didnt come all the way off!
