I used a mallet and a small chunk of 2x4 and banged it out. The whole process was simple but tough on my body crawling under the crossfire if a person has a lift it would be real easy.
I took it out for a trial run 10 miles no issue with the trans, but my seatbelt alarm was going on and off. I have no idea why that was happening I had my seatbelt on, I'll search the forum see if I can find out what wrong.
My crossfire was sitting for 6 months I forgot how much fun it is to drive.
