Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey All,

Just went out to flip the rear tailshaft (TB48 Auto)

However the gearbox end will not come off the transfer. Tried gently tapping with a 4LB mallet but no go ? Not to keen in using to much force as I know there balanced etc.

Also the bolts at the gearbox end appear to be pressed in and cant get them out ? nuts are off and was hoping once loose would slide off etc.

Ideas people ?

Just went back out and tried hammering the flange bolts (with nut on) and no budge.

So if I leave the bolts inplace and try tapping all around I might be able to get the flanges to seperate ?

i wouldn't worry about putting the tailshaft out of balance if your doing your hitting right up around the uni's.

If you've ever replaced a set of uni's you'd know how much "firm" hammering is involved.
Give it a squirt with the CRC or WD and try hitting again. Just don't go flogging the tailshaft on the main tube section and you'll be fine!

Thanks All,

Finially was able to get it off today, bashing and turning, bashing , turning and finially she started to come off. All flipped now

If at first you don't succeed --> Get a bigger hammer
