Ok now I can see the pictures , that thing is in there good , I am surprised that heat didn't help break the bond , Art are you using Propane or MAPP ? Mapp will get hotter.

I MIGHT be going to LV next month , I could come by and we could get that thing apart , I have that same axle slide hammer and I had a bear of a time get wheel bearings out of an 04 1500 , but I didn't BREAK it ... yikes ...
