This might be what they call a semi-cartridge type???
Many of these have the splines cast poorly and I seriously recommend attaching the removal tool to the fixed cup like in the pic.
You need it tightly engaging the splines, else you might ruin the tool AND screw up the cup.
Trying to "chisel it off" or similar tactics will leave you in a bigger pickle.
Thanks a ton for the quick help! I'll see if I can get one of those removal tools somewhere local for a price that's not obscene, but If I have to wait for one in the mail that's that. In that case I might just throw my Trek back together, just so I have something that works to get me back and forth for the week.
I'll hit it with some penetrating oil, most of it thus far has come apart pretty easy but better safe than sorry. Thanks for the tip with the bolt & washers too, that should come in handy.
I'll post back when I've gotten the tool to get it all out, with some pictures of whatever I find.
Thanks again!
