Re: Gearbox extension housing question

Thank you for your help, but it still doesn't want to come off.  I removed 
the speedo gear and it will still only move about 1/2".  I whacked it with a 
rubber mallet a few times, but still no luck.  Should I just try beating the 
hell out of it with my mallet, or may that damage something?  It seems like 
it is trying to pull the mainshaft out with the housing.  Is this normal, or 
is a bearing seized to the shaft.  Any input would be greatly appreciated.
