Updated problem guys,

okay to fill everyone in... my buddy had a bad u-joint break on him and it destroyed his rear-end and we've been replacing it for a month or so now.... we have everything ready but we couldn't remove the old driveshaft!!!

I used a 5 lb sledge hammer, prybars/wonder bars, air hammer...everything i could think of to remove this thing!!!! BUT NOTHING WORKS

I can rotate the driveshaft and i can push it in 1/2 and inch. but i can't get it out.

with the rear end in place ...the end of the drive shaft is like 1.75 inches away from seating in the rear end yoke !!!WOW!!!!

so i think that his drive shaft has not only slid forward into his drive shaft but has also fussed to the spline of the output shaft!!!

how do i get this off, and how to i fix the possibly bad spline!!!

its a 94z with a TCI streetfighter trans!!!

 

If its broken and wrapped up, just cut it out?

 

sawzaw is your friend

 

i donno about my saws all!!!!!


like i can get to the DS, but i can't pull it out....i can push it in, but nothing happens?

should i break the front u joint and work on the yoke without the DS?


i can't figure how to get this out...i've removed mine 2 times before this....his is just sooo difficult @!#$#@#

 

Get a bigger hammer.

Not sure what your update was , but it sounds like the front yoke or output shaft has twisted splines. Use a come-along to pull the DS and then asses the damage. Probably a twisted output shaft.

 

I tend to agree with shoebox, sounds like a twisted spline on the output shaft.

 

how do i get the out put shaft out?

 

I like the the come-a-long idea. Get it out and see what you're dealing with. Hopefully the splines on the driveshaft are twisted. and there is no damage to the tranny. Then see if a new driveshaft will go in.

 

Some transmission disassembly required. The method will depend on what tranny it is.
