Not sure if this would make any difference but when cleaning rust off camp ovens everyone soaks them in molasses..1 part molasses to 10 parts water, just a suggestion as nothing else seems to work

I reckon given its unbolted you can walk into a decent Auto shop that has at least a 20ton press and ask them to press it out. It might cost you $30 which you won't spend on Inox, crc and hours of pain and frustration. They can heat it up while its in the press if they have to while your safely drinking a coffee at a cafe ;)
Noticed a slight oil leak last night on the driveway under the patrol... Over night turned into a puddle. Turns out that the Rear main seal on the engine block is most likely gone and needs replacing. Quotes range from $1000-$1500 from 4 different places!!! Arghh!

Yeh I'm process of getting a few quotes at the moment, most likely going to get ATOC to get it done. They seem pretty reasonable and competent - plus their vendor thread has good reviews as well. Going to set me back a fair bit still, but thats just because of the labour required to get the transmission out to replace the sealQuote:

I wouldnt be tying it to a tree and "gently" tugging it.
There are unknown forces involved. A whole heap of things could go wrong
Press it out if you can and live to tell the tale lol
