[Stuart]

short sharp tug.

[General Baxter]

you have undone the suspension arms and tie bars? lol duh :lol:

yep mate i have

[mowgli]

use a knife on the sellotape.................
only kidding

to get the driveshafts out of the gbox, raise the car and support it on axle stands unbolt the bottom steering joints and to get the left one out turn the steering fully right and take the key out so the steering lock locks. then pull like hell on the brake disc/caliper it will pop out. to do the right one, turn the steering fully to the left and do the same.

[_JH_]

also, the distributor bracket on the ohc engines is a marvellous tool for getting them out. align, lightly bosch with hammer, out they pop. :D

[snapper]

get a big fat screw in the gap between the gearbox and driveshaft and whack it with a mallet. popped mine out straight away :D

mate i did this 4 weeks ago, heres how

1. make sure all the correct stuff is undone.

2. wedge a crowbar or screw drive between shaft n gear box have sum1 else twist the drive shadft round n pull it while u wedge it, pops out easy!

took me ages on my first one, lie 1 hour, but now 10min jobe!!

[General Baxter]

took me about 4hours to get the drivers one off and about 10mins for the other one


thanks for your help

[Ste_Nova]

just drop the engine/box/shafts out the bottom then attack with a crow bar

[Riggy]

mine took all of 2 secs to get out - just one pull on the shaft and it was out :D
