    If this 2.5 lb brass hammer won’t do it then I doubt a dead blow would. I was WAILING on this thing

    You'd be surprised what an overpriced deadblow will do.

    Oh and will need video of said plasma cutting.

    The guy running the press was hiding behind a tool box while he pressed the button :rofl:

    But seriously, i think everyone in the shop checked themselves for new holes ... sounded like a shotgun going off indoors.

    That’s what I’ve heard. Did you disassemble it like I did and then just take the star to the shop?

    Yes sir. One popped right out, the other did not. It bent the bed on a 50 ton press, so i ended up at a big rig shop

    I pressed the new shafts in with the little hf press i have. It took substantially less force.

    I know JB fab uses a lathe. Not entirely sure of their method but it seems way less destructive than a press. I think they get to the point that I’m at and then just lathe it away into nothing.

    So since I destroyed that CV, I had to source a second. Made a post in the local FB group and within a few minutes someone offered me one in exchange for a pack of beer. Winning.

    Over promise and under deliver, that's the randy way.

    Unrelated, the piece I was cutting through was 2" thick and my plasma cutter is only rated for 1" severance. I'm impressed it did as well as it did.
