in response to mmuzulo
The shaft threads remain in very good condition. I do know enough to protect the threads with the nut before hammering away....which I have done repeatedly as per my previous posts....and I also employed an intermediate piece of steel to hammer on to further protect the nut and threads.
I Merely ended up with very sore legs.
Support for the shaft would have to be infinitely more robust than flesh can provide, and so far, I have been unable to invent such a rigid support.
This is not being an easy removal that would allow such a cushioned support as legs. Legs have the effect of significantly softening the hammer blows.
But I thank you for the suggestions.
