Hi, I'm replacing my 2 piece steel driveshaft with a 1 piece and I'm having trouble taking out the driveshaft.
Its the back part of the driveshaft where it meets the rear end that is giving me problems.. I alredy took all the bolts out of it and got the two metal retainer things out. I pushed it forward but it won't buldge. I stuck a wreck in there and tried plying it out but it still work buldge. I sprayed some WD40 on there and took a pipe in there to ply it out but it just bent the pipe in half. I'm all out of ideas. I think the problem is that it is rusted together or just stuck in there really good because of all the donuts and burnouts I do. Anyone have any good idea for taking this thing out?

 

crowbar....

it's just stuck...keep trying

 

Sometimes they're a little tough, but it'll slide forward. Never removed a two piece DS before, maybe it's the extra set of UJoints taking up the slack while you're prying?

 

Just stick a screw driver in and pry it out, it shouldn't take to much effort.

 

Did you unbolt the center bearing from the torque arm?
