Most I have removed, the nut loosens pretty easy, I had one a couple weeks ago on a 240 that wouldn`t. I needed the front half only. once I had it off the trans, I tapped it off with a hammer. the splines were rusty.

It kind of looked as if thats how it worked , but without the nut moving I didnt want to destroy anything .
Is there a point where it just doesnt tighten up any more and you consider it worn out Or does it compensate for the wear as long as the splines are still intact ?
Nick The best way I can describe the wear would be similar to a loose wheel bearing kind of a rocking movement.
Thanks for the replies Time to try them out . ITS HAMMER TIME !!!!
