I haven't seen how much room is under a prostar hood but i would imagine it can be done, and just switch from a 20lb to a 5lb hammer and prybars and lots of penetrating fluid.

You had to be here to understand. It really was that bad, and had been soaking for 3 days already. Wildpib was here helping me get it off.

Even with sanding the shaft in front of it, 12-ton puller, and a 20-lb hammer smack at high impact, it barely moved about 1/32" at a time.

It was the worst one i had ever seen.
