I will let you know how hard mine is to get off on Tuesday. I don't feel like using a puller, so I'll bring a friend and some beer with me.

Man, if it's anything like my Milano was (and I did have a puller) bring some shaped charge explosives as well. I was about five minutes from just dremeling that sucker off the shaft.

I suggest using anti-sieze on the splines when you put the new one on.
