Cheap intermediate shaft removal tool.

1 - 6" length of 1" Schd. 40 PVC
1 or 2 as needed zip ties
a little muscle

This reminds me of my cheap seal driver solution. Went to the muffler shop and grabbed a small chunk of appropriate sized pipe when I was stuck,because seal was bigger than all my sockets. Worked just fine,and much cheaper than a seal driver tool kit.
