I can tell you from our experience that would likely be a problem and require it to be broached multiple times, or from both sides (with a standard push broach). It's going to take a LOT of force too, since you have so much tooth engagement.
p.s. note that 5-1/2 hours in the car with your daughter on the way to IRI is NOT the same as 10 hours in the van with seven members of Team 116 on the way to IRI. One is a wonderful familial experience, the other is an opportunity to go insane. - dlavery [more]
