Hi all,
Removing my offside driveshaft (182) to sort out a tired CV boot while the car is apart for suspension work.
Driveshaft came out of the hub no trouble. I've removed the bearing retaining plate held on by two bolts (although not sure if this was required?) in theory the second half of the shaft should just pull out right? Seems to be seized solid. Looks original and guessing it hasn't been out in a long time, if at all.
Gave it a good few whacks with a big hammer through a bit of wood but it's not going anywhere.
The three bolts holding the centre bearing block to the engine block are free, so I could probably just remove em, take the whole 2 part shaft out from the diff and either work on it on the bench, or just not worry about it.
Haven't done this before, will I need to drop the box oil first? Anything else I should know?
Cheers!
