Hi Chris
Can’t remember what I did if you can send a picture it may jog,
I think it was splined and I had to use 2 levers to separate!

Hope this helps

Hi Chris,

First of all, I really sympathise if you’ve got the same issues I had. I’m afraid I can’t be sure as to how he did it. I general I’ve found there’s no secret or special technique, I think it’s just possible to try harder and be more brutal than I tend to be.

Good luck!

Neil.

Hi, thanks for this very useful. How did he remove the prop shaft from the diff? I am trying to change the centre bearing on my 330d and even though the bolts have been removed it won’t budge at all…
