I tried to put one on backwards  a few years back.  I did not notice that the thread sizes were different from front and rear.  I put it on the way that it seemed to fit best.  Then I realized neither end would screw in.  It fit pretty well with a few bend corrections.

Then it got a few more bend corrections when I pulled it off and and re-bent it to best fit the other way around.  Not one of my better days but it still works.

Cross hatching looks brand new.  Does not look like it was run much lately...I say that because it is a bit rustier inside that I would have guessed.

Have you tried putting some heat to the arm around the shaft and then hitting the puller with an impact?

I had an early model with Bob Dylan on it.  I solved that problem by selling that car and going overseas

That converter was pretty much standard in the early days of Buicks.  RIP, Art

The worst thing a country can do is to change its  ways to make visitors happy by accommodating itself to them.

Not sure that either Dan, or me, consider ourselves great.  I think we are mostly happy to be mostly all here

Thank Goodness for dogs.  Mine is going to turn 15 come February and is almost totally deaf but she still wants to play a bit.  I am cooking her an egg for breakfast right now and I don't even cook one for myself.
