I talked with JohnnyRude200 by phone this morning while he was at the hardware store. He is working on the ’86 model now so it removes differently. Your right, but you can usually get them with a slide hammer hook tool if they haven’t been in salt water forever! The driveshaft tool you may be talking about would be the spline socket? You can get around that by grabbing the shaft in the necked down area so any marks don’t screw up future seals. Special tools are ridiculously priced, but can be built with a little effort. You can even make a spline socket next time you see a bad crank, just cut off the lower end and weld a socket to it.
