Subject:help! how to get the propeller shaft to drop?
From:The CiKaspers
Date:Sun, 25 Mar 2001 16:49:13 -0800

well, i followed the bentley, loosened the front differential, took out the
eight nuts/bolts holding the shaft in, and it will not budge.  i have
liberally applied liquid wrench to the seams of the u-joints where they
bolt on to either end.  where can i bang this sucker with a hammer?  i am a
bit loathe to do the ujoints, but am willing to crack it anywhere just a
few times to get it to drop.

i ask this in a rush:  she's sitting two wheels on the curb, two in the
street, and i am not sure i want to leave her like that overnight...

cheers!
