[Mk2] [Generic] half shaft removal

[willydc26]

how do you remove the halfshafts? i got one out, but cant seem to be able to get the other out.

Passenger side ???

Gently stick an extension bar on the driveshaft joint and knock it.....

The driveshaft has a circlip in the spline section... shouldn't be a struggle to remove, probably the spine section creating some resistance !

i had no problem getting the driver side out, but i still cant seem to get the pasenger side out more than about 1cm.

i was going to just stick an extension through the hole in the differential, but there is a bar going through it. the thing just does not want to budge.

No no no... just clobber it square on... theres nothing that should be holding it in place... try a long extention bar against the closest CV joint... and belt that... should comfortably slide out...
