I don't have air tools in my garage. I do have a buddy that's a tech at a Dodge dealer. I can run it out to him. I'll probably just do that.

With it out, make it a 2 man job-- one guy on a big pipe wrench to hold the yoke, another on a breaker bar on the nut
This also works well with the carrier still installed and a one man operation, using the floor to hold the pipe wrench
Or... Take it to your buddy!!

The pipe wrench by myself. Breaker bar and it popped right off. Just rotated the pipe wrench untill it hit the floor pan. Although I really like the box that bolts to the pinion snubber boss. Great idea.

If it's really rusted, heating it up "cherry red" with the torches may be needed too.
