OK, so it seems doable. I like the puller, Sam. I don't have one with the "blades" that fit behind the arm hub like yours. Might need to add that to the tool box.
My thought was I can drill all the way to the splined shaft, but not thread it all the way, though I do have bottom taps. I would drop a ball bearing or other smaller object in the bottom of the tapped hole to take up the unthreaded range.
I do want to save the control lever.
What I'm doing is swapping stuff between the two 129s--moving headlights, taillights, dash panel, from the nicer one with the manual lift and smoking engine to the one with the hydraulic lift and better motor.
