Although All bolts are out of the differential flex-coupling, as well as the two holding the centre bearing, the rear half of the prop-shaft refuses to part company from the differential input pinion shaft on the 300D...Any ideas?  |
Take a long pry bar or big flat bladed screwdriver and apply pressure between the flex coupling and either the prop shaft flange or the pinion input flange. Now, take a machinist's hammer (ball pein) and beat on the outer rim of the flex coupling. The coupling should pop loose from either the shaft or the differential...you may have to rotate the shaft, repeat applying pressure in a different position and whack it in a couple of different locations. This usually pops it loose from the flex disk.
Good luck.
