I'm lost. What does a combo fastener head look like? What does the screwdriver tip look like? I must be missing something in the pictures OP posted. I've probably swapped out 100+ outlets and switches in various homes I've lived in, but never heard of this.

Garden hose fittings also. Too big for most "regular" slip joint pliers.

That's what I've always called them too and I have several. I never heard them called water pump pliers except here on GJ.

Good enough for Clooney!

I'd give it a go with your existing setup. Scrape away any rust around the rim with a pick, and spray some oil around it. Sometimes you can start the puller, get some tension, then whack it from behind to break it loose if needed. Good luck 🤞

What is the vehicle and age?

If it doesn't work, you could always pull the knuckle and take it to a local shop with a hydraulic press.

You never know!

I stuff a paper towel in from the bottom then it goes into the drawer.

Zen and the Art of Radio Maintenance. Nice work on the shim
