   Has anyone successfully removed the end plate from the rear ARB? The end without the little plastic plug on it, is it welded on or will it come off if I hammer it ? The end plate is broken and I’m wanting to swap it over if possible.
   
   Thanks

   For anyone searching for future reference, i removed the end plate with the ARB in the vice and heating up the end plate, then knocked it off with a hammer and chisel, I noticed when i heated it up some black gooey stuff oozed out of the splines i think maybe they're bonded in place.
   
   Sorted anyway, cheers stevo
