Usually you have to push the whole driveshaft forward slightly to get it disengaged from the differential before you can pull it down and out. Now that the bolts are out, have you tried tapping it with a rubber mallet back there to break it loose? Chris |

What you are doing wrong is multiple-posting (to at least here and rec.crafts.metalworking), rather than cross-posting. Read the Wikipedia article on cross posting, especially the section on multiple posting. Then use Google to find directions on cross posting from Google groups. Google won't tell you -- I think they're trying to kill USENET. Then, when you feel a need to post to multiple groups, do it the right way. -- http://www.wescottdesign.com |
