Default Help - I can’t get my jacking puck out!
I just changed the oil & now I can’t get the right front puck out, any clues? If I put a strap wrench on it, the thing will spin, but it is tight & won’t come off. I have had this thing up 100 times, yet tonight I can’t get it off. To make matters worse, I have my first HSDE tomorrow, so I need it out now.

Well after about 20 more minutes of hammering & twisting I got the darn thing out. I'll have to take a closer look after my track day.

No worries, it is kinda funny now that it's over. I guess I'll just have to lube before the puck insertion...
