After trying to remove the rear diff and drive shafts I have become stuck due to one of the drive shafts being reluctant to budge from the hub. The other three drive shafts simply knocked out, but the forth just will not move. Even used a sledge hammer to try and knock it out! Have soaked it in wd40 but really don't think this will help. I am going to try and heat the hub up tommorow but if anybody has any other ideas they would be much appreciated!

911, if you are reading this, I haven't forgotton to check the number of turns on steering rack, just haven't got round to taking another steering wheel out to car to find out!

i think you have tried everything you can ! let the wd do its magic if not then heat will do it . we get this at work sometimes and even use pullers that bolt to the hub and you just do the bolt up to push the shaft out the hub but most of the time it strips the thread on the puller so we heat the hub !

You need to knock something up similar to this to push them out



Its a doddle then.

You just bolt it up to the hub using the wheel nuts the wind the big threaded bar in which pushes the driveshaft out.

Thanks for all your replies! Hepple that looks a good bit of kit, seems like a common problem. I will apply some heat tommorow and hope for the best!
