removing driveshafts.. (tracker)
« on: March 11, 2007, 02:08:32 PM »
how exactly does one get the damn driveshaft out??!? I took off the 4 bolts (surprisingly none were too seized) and now the thing wont come off

I assume it was just the 4 bolts then the driveshaft should pop off the rear and then I should be able to slide it out off the t/c

groovy, worked like a charm..  I just didnt want to start smacking it around in case I had to do something else to get it loose (like other bolts or something.

I used a wire brush to clean both flanges. and put a thin film of grease on the allignment ring.
makes it come off easier next time.  believe me there will be a next time .
