Does the shaft extension include the circular part just inside of the three holes for putting the puller on or&nbsp\\;does it just&nbsp\\;have a short circumfirance around the main shaft. Trying to figure out what comes out.

&nbsp\\;I bought a Dial Caliper and took a measurement at the front sprocket and the clutch sprocket, their is 1/16th difference or .0625, the book says the difference between the 2 sprockets should be .030 . I realize that the space that I have is 1/32 or.030 wider but doe I really need to shim the extension, it is being a be'itch to get off, for that difference ?&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Thanks

The book and some articles I have read would have you believe the damn extension is their to grab and pull off, not this sumbitch, I can wiggle it a little as I have for hours but it wont come off, it is separarted from the rotor by a 32 nd", if they had used locktite I would think that the wiggleing would mean it is ready to come off, anyone had this problem before?
