I ended up posting this and then just tried a little harder. I carefully tapped a screwdriver around on all sides and they started moving right away. The little one on the top of the secondary side I just used a small 2 jaw puller. I never had to use much force and everything felt fine spinning them around.
I officially HATE my "local" dealer up there. I called them Saturday morning and asked if I brought the gears if they could pop them off. The guy wanted to know what year machine what parts I was changing etc etc.... I told him going to 57/63 to 55/65. He started telling me how you can't do that. Then I told him that is what '10s have. Then he starts with how they have more hp to turn that gear and it won't work on a '08 because it doesn't have the horsepower or clutching the '10 has. I kindly told him that i'm gearing DOWN (not up) so if anything it takes less horsepower to turn them. Anyways he then proceeds to tell me how they have special tools and it's almost impossible to get the bearings off and he cannot do it until Monday (I had told him I was only there for the weekend already). What's funny is i'd be willing to bet that guy sat in there most of the day and never had anyone in there. Oh well I got it done without him and that was mark 3 against them. They have never been helpful, had what I needed, and always have had an attitude and talk down to you like you are the dumbest person on earth. I will only give them business under duress. Flip side I had stopped at a dealer in Wisconsin driving up right off the highway on Friday to buy coolant (did the '09 rear bumper/tunnel conversion) and they were nice, friendly, helpful. Second time I have been there and the same result both times. I will plan to stop there whenever I need stuff that I don't order.
