found a puller to get the coupler off(plus a little heat) and just tapped the shaft out of the bearing. still want out of the type 44's however. trades anyone?

A puller is the right tool to get the shaft sleeve off its a pita.

Are you going to change any of the bushings while you have the cross member down?

They are probably ok anyway.

bty Nice Picture I wish my Pics had come out as well as yours, when I did my rear suspension.
