at one point i was thinking of using a slide hammer dent puller but needed an adaptor so tried heating it and hammering from the other side. need to get back on it hopefully tomorrow.
yeah theres tool rental over here, googled a few places and it wasnt cost effective.Seriously? No point in hogging on something that may be unobtanium.
Y'all don't have places like these over there?

the 3 claw puller was junk, 2 many weak parts and pain to get it aligned due to the main mount being offset. In the end i just tapped the side of the plate with bolts in place back and forth and it eventully moved so you couldnt see through the pin hole. I scribed the underside shaft to make sure it wasnt turning the whole mechanism.
