I used some 1/4 inch steel and drilled a 1 3/8 hole in the middle, tapped in two 1/4 inch steel bolts on each side.
But just bending the bolts - I had SS bolts and will now try hardened steel.
I also went to a local Drivetrain shop and transmission shop - both did not want to try and get it off - afraid of screwin it up.
