how to remove driveshaft carrier?

[Mathias]

need to remove my driveshaft carrier (one which bolts to back of block) in order to fit to new driveshaft, how do i remove the carrier?

[raunchz]

unbolt it from the block (3x 15/16mm bolt head from memory)

sorry ross, my mistake for being vague, i mean remove it from the shaft, ive already got it off the block :)

a load of fiddling about its a pain in the arse the intermediate bearing. once got that off just wiggle and pull and will pop out eventually..... from what I can remember.

I hold the shaft vertically with the driveshaft off the car - and hit the carrier downwards making sure you hit it at points all the way around the bearing.

thanks, will try that now :)

thanks, will try that now :)

No worries - shouldn't need too much effort to hit it out although some have been a bitch to get off !

im sure there is two little bolts that need un-doing?? i swapped the carrier over from one shaft to another and im sure i unbolted it

[Mathias]

there is two 10mm bolts, ive smacked it off now :)

I presumed the two 11mm nuts had already been removed ;)

[Mathias]

yep :) haha

would it not of been easier to just leave that on the car and pull the shaft out? thats what it normally do, saves taking it off.

i had a bit of bother removing my carrier when i bought a new shaft. the new ones come with a bearing but no carrier.
