DieselPig Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 There are no bolts it's just pushed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swhite87 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 they are very tight, easiest way i found was loads of wd-40 a lot of patience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manol01 Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 Good morning and thanks for the speedy reply. You mean that if place a suitable screwdriver or a lever between the inner end of drive shaft and gear box and I have a little luck with me it comes out? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 A wide blade screwdriver or a small pry bar will ease them out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manol01 Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 Good evening guys and many thanks for all the usefull information. It took me few seconds to drive it out of its place by the use of a common pry bar!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 you might want to consider replacing the seal while the driveshaft is out (if it still is) you should be able to get a genuine one for a couple of quid. once disturbed they can leak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manol01 Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 Thanks for the note, I already put the shaft to its place. The oil seal was pretty good and priot to refit I put some oil around for better fitment but I took it up to my mind to see if I have some leak. Many thanks again!!!!!
