Is there a trick to removing this. Trying to reseal rear hydrostatic shaft. Bolt is removed put 3 jaw puller on it but wont budge. Soaked in pb blaster and also heated a bit with mapp gas while pulling but no luck so far. Puller is not grabbing real well but do get decent tension on it.

I put three a jaw puller on as tight as I can, then strike the tension bolt with a hammer. The shock usually works.

I ended up heating coupler with acetelene torch and using 3 jaw puller with slide hammer and it popped off.
