Given the limited space with engine/ transnission in vehicle how do i go about removing L/H driveshaft from differential. I do understand it is retained in place with an internal circlip on splines, manual instructs to lever inner tripod joint housing but as it means levering against alloy differential housing i am wary. Any better suggestions ?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks JWM
Having just replaced flywheel clutch and slave cylinder on a tdci.You have to drop sub frame915 mm) which means quite a lot of disconecting pipes radiator and clamp on steering rack. once you've lowered sub frame you can then disconect driveshaft.Use a big screw driver to pull off from gearbox and be carefull of driveshaft oil seal.The hardest part is getting the circlip which holds the driveshaft in place past its home.
