Help - Driveshaft won't separate
Making good progress in replacing flex fisk and center bearing. Driveshaft is out and nut connecting the two haves has been removed.
The two halves will not separate. It appears that the spline is stuck ( after 14+ years). Have tried banging lightly on the front of the driveshaft but I'm worried about damaging the driveshaft or knocking it out of balance.
any suggestions???
Thanks for older posts, they have help greatly to this point. I'm almost these if I can just get the new center bearing on.
One other questions. What type of grease should I use to repack the constant velocity joint at the rear of the driveshaft??
Thanks Mike Feeney
Success - PB Blaster did the trick
Separated the halves by spraying PB Blaster into the grooves of the spline after the bolt was removed. Seems that after 14 years and no apparent MbS2 greese the two halves were stuck.
The center bearing was just pretty easy, just followed the ditrections on Bruno's website. Was very helpful to have a small puller, and was able to tap the new bearing on with a 1-1/8" extended socket.
Not sure that the greese in the CV joint should be black, so I'm off to pick up some CV joint greese and a new gasket.
