Title: Help Please - Prop Shaft Removal
Post by: Boiler Man on 28 July 2009, 20:29:27

Hi Guys

I'm attempting to replace the clutch on my 2.2 DTI 03 Plate. A few of the lads on here have given me loads of advice and I have read the Maintenance Guide on Clutch change.

I've got my parts, Car up and on stands and more stands :y

Now because of the pi***ng rain, I haven't be able to get stuck in yet, but I've had a gander underneath and the only thing that's puzzling me is how you get the Prop Shaft out of the way.

I can see the 3 bolts mention in the guide to disconnect from the Gearbox, but do I have to take the middle bearing out and disconnect at the Diff'? or am I missing something? :-/ :-/

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hoping to get on with it in the morning.
If it Stops Flameing Raining!!! >:(

Cheers :y

Cheers.

Wondered that but it looks like it won't drop passed the gearbox crossmember and exhaust bracket.

Does It? :-/
