as far as im aware it should just slide out but ill go check the haynes manual

[Scott]

should just be a pull out

[marke_vtr]

well it doesn't! smileys/smiley13.gif

that is the offside one isn't it Scott!

its like locked on i didn't know if there was a snap in clip on it or something cuz it moves about half an inch then locks out like something is stopping it!

you know what its like dont want to pull to hard just incase you do more damage than good!

[citrovts]

what do you mean with off side is that pass. or driver side

[marke_vtr]

Offside is know as the Driverside and Nearside is know as Passengerside!

i need to know how to remove the driverside driveshaft......

so if anyone can help it would be great!

[Scott]

ah sorry thought you meant the passenger side to smileys/smiley9.gif

the driverside one will probably ahve intermediate bearings, loosen the bolts then turn them 90 degrees so that their offset head are clear of the bearing outer race. Then you should be able to pull it out.

taken from Mr Haynes btw

Mr haynes is a sack.
