Nicely done. Go for a patent.

The collar is a good idea. Seems more solid than the washer. I will see if I can one.Stole the idea, but used a 3/8 split collar instead of hacking on a washer. Worked great.

That looks amazing. Where can I find single split collars? I see amazon sells them in 4 packs of each size.View attachment 9243308 I updated it a bit. Added a 5/8 split collar and a length of slit air compressor hose. Just pull it tight against my vice jaws and tighten the 5/8 collar. Now I can rotate the whole works over the flame.

The pro shaft extractor tool they sell is total overkill for amateurs. Spending $279 for something I will use a couple times a year is pointless. Plus look at the satisfaction you get from doing the same function using a few bucks in parts.Very simple and ingenious. I made a DIY shaft extractor years ago using wood to clamp the shaft and a vice to pull the head/adapter off. It worked well, but it is gone after I remodeled my garage. I might try this or just kick down for an industry shaft extractor, but I still think they are quite overpriced especially if you only extract a few shafts a year. Lol. But I guess in the long run it could pay off if do a fair amount of shaft extractions.

It is a great idea.
What size is the spring, inside diameter and outside diameter?
