Please keep us posted, will ya?
I've since watched several videos where removal is done with a slide-hammer...looks do-able. Sounds like at least a 10lb slide hammer is required. In addition, I've got two old brake discs sitting around that I'm planning to add for additional weight.

Montana are you thinking of attempting removal with a slide hammer or are you going to remove the whole spindle and just pound?
