    Default Drive Shaft Clamping Sleeve

    Hi all,
    I am having a problem finding what I need to do to remove the clamping sleeve. The bentley's tells me to spin the clamping sleeve. I don't see what the book shows. The support for the center bearing was shot so I tore the bushing out of the way. I have some pictures of the center of the driveshaft below.





    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance everyone

    Regards,

    Default Yours doesn't have a clamping sleeve, some do some don't you have to

    remove the driveshaft from the car and then remove the bolt that goes into the end of the Ujoint yoke in the middle to separate the the 2 driveshaft pieces...
