ask them for 15 dollars, lift the vehicle, help them swap the tires, and you're 15 bucks richer

It'd make one heck of a whoopie cushion, that's for sure! 
lol seriously though, that'd be a handy thing to have. I just wonder how it'd hold up after lifting a truck by suspension parts that might have somewhat sharp edges.

I know, but I mean under continued use. Like how long are they going to last being up against semi-sharp edges?
Don't get me wrong, I ain't knockin' it. It's a unique and interesting product.

I think the vac hose reroute made at least some difference...I can at least keep it going when it's in gear now. Takes a lot of goosing the pedal, but it runs. I backed it up the driveway then put it back under the carport, and it actually made it both ways without dying. The exhaust tone is quite different now too.
I think I need to take it for a drive and clean out all the cobwebs and crud, lol.

!~Help~! me!!!
Im in the middle of redoing my angle grinder. Shes been real good too me, (i've used the crap outta the thing), and figured id clean her all up and clean and grease the bearings, and regrease the gears.
So i got it all apart, and on the shaft there are the two bears that i want to take off and soak and reoil, but i have no idea how to get them off. The only thing ive tried is yanking them off and that doesnt work. So any input on how to take em off? Thanks yall, heres a few pictures incase they help to see what it is.
