Stuck R PV Assy (R)

[Svensk]

Hello all. I am currently rebuilding the top end on my recently purchased 06 Ec300. While attempting to take the power valve apart in order to clean and inspect it, I have hit a bit of a snag. I have followed the instructions on the front page for disassembly of the power valve and all has gone smoothly until step 8. I simply cannot get this thing out. I have been pulling on it for the last hour and a half and still no luck. Any advice on getting her out? I am new to mechanics and apologize if the solution to this problem is glaringly obvious as I am still learning.

did you try to soak in PB Blaster or SeaFoam Deep Creep or equivalent penetrating oil?

Could heat cylinder with torch and put ice on bearing

Here in the following video at 4:04 two screwdrivers are used to pry the PV bearing out evenly. You could thread a nut onto it for better purchase/bite. It shouldn't take a ton of force, you don't want to damage the bearing. Soak it overnight if you can

Let us know what works.

Anyone else with ideas?

sorry you did say R side. Obviously you are pulling on the BOLT that threads into the R exhaust valve. If you can get the L side exhaust valve, rods and flapper out, maybe you could tap on the inside of the R exhaust valve by putting a drift thru the hole for the L exhaust valve (from the L side)

I made a tool to pull on it until I read the instructions elsewhere on this site and realised above method much easier. Refuse to throw away the tool.

I did attempt to soak it to no avail. I will try your suggestions after work and let you all know how it goes. Thank you so much for the help!

Just an update for you all. I finally managed to get the right power valve assembly out. I soaked it in some more Deep Creep and let it sit for an entire day. Then using the method in the video posted by thumperflipper I was finally able to get it out.

Thank you all for your suggestions, your input and ideas were greatly appreciated!
