Re: drive shaft removal
Never done this task myself but according to the Haynes Manual it seems pretty straight forward. Briefly it involves "levering" the shaft away from the Gearbox Output shaft by inserting a suitable leaver between the Driveshaft Coupling and The Gearbox Shaft. This action releases a circlip from a groove in the Output shaft.

Re: drive shaft removal
Glad you managed ok. Did the shaft "release" as advertised without too much force ?.
Re: drive shaft removal
yes drive shaft came free with a bit of pressure with small bar. so all good thanks.

Wondering how you did it ..
Did you had to remove the sub-frame right?
