If you're near Central Oregon I have two and I'm happy to give one up.

hahaha Canada is not Siberia 😁. I will check for a slim profile 9/16 socket

I paid a general mechanic to do it. Watched how hard a time they had, did not regret it. Just awkward, even on a lift. So glad I gave up when I was on my back under it (before I got it halfway off and regretted it).

I purchased both front and rear Tom Woods shafts from Lucky8 and had mechanic do as well. Too hot here in FL. They ended up putting the rear shaft on backwards so I had to flip around myself but they did the hard stuff..flange
