How do I go about removing the output shaft extension? I've removed the snap ring but it feels like the shaft is pressed into the bearing. Do I need to remove it to replace the rear seal?

One of the bellhousing bolts stripped the threads from the block when I took it out. The block thread material stuck to the bolt threads. It's totally stripped. Should I put a time-sert in there?

Yep I'm using some Ipe wood, which is hard as a rock, under the jackstands. Now that the trans is out I'm going to reposition the car. It's current position is certainly not ideal.
