I am replacing my front flex disc and have undone the 6 bolts but problem is theres not enough room between the proshaft flange and the engine flange to get the disc out!! I've removed the transmission plate so the tranmission can move up and down, and I've pushed the propshaft as far back as it can go but still the gap is not big enough, do I need to do anything else??? Thanks guys. |

Unbolt the propshaft centre bearing clamp, its above the exhaust heatshield. This will allow the prop to drop in the middle |

Ok, finally done it, yea had to unbolt the bearing clamp but also unbolt a bracket under the propshaft near to the front flex disc to just drop the shaft low enough. Harder job than expected
