Any advise on removing the hardened rubber flange without cracking the housing? Drilling it?

I suspect that's the way to go, you have to carefully destroy it but by bit so not to force the metal neck around it, or it may break (mazak).

Yep, just got done drilling it all the way around and got it out.

I use a heat gun to soften the old rubber. It comes right out when heated.

I'll have to get a heat gun, what setting do you use?
