Appreciate the offers but I might be OK. I took the carrier to a speed shop and let them pound on it. It was funny listening while waiting:  tink, tink, tink followed by bam, bam, bam, followed by the pshsssss of a torch, more banging and the whir of an air wheel. Big ups to Rainier Honda & Yamaha.  :cheers:

Next up: Getting the bearing spacer off the axle. Then - hopefully - it will just be a matter of throwing the Pivot Works kit in the freezer for a while, putting the carrier on a hotplate and buttoning everything back up. Stay tuned.

Good deal.  When you are putting things back together, grease the piss out of the axle and spacer sleeve to help prevent rust for next time.  Hell, grease everything.

The sleeve does come off the non-drive (right) side, right? It slides but keeps getting hung up in the center of the axle.
Sorry for all the questions. I can get busted heads bolts out of an engine built in 1966 but apparently can't figure out the axle on a quad assembled only 5 years ago. This is nuts.

UPDATE: Ended up having to cut the bearing spacer off. The axle looks OK. Won't know for sure until I go to put it all back together though and a new bearing spacer is on order.
I miss the good ol' days when parts shops actually had parts * sigh *
