172 o/s driveshaft help

[sebo_c]

Currently trying to remove my drivers side shaft , everything is undone including the retaining bolts and the plate, but for some reason it does not want to budge ?

Any ideas why this would happen ?

Thanks

Nobody ?

so the driveshaft has been removed from the hub but you're stuck on either extracting the bearing unit from the carrier OR the inner cv won't come off the sunwheel? Pull harder!

Yes exactly ! Does not want to budge it is still in the carrier if I pull any harder it will come the axel stands lol , slide hammer maybe ?

Rusted in then; spray some penetrating oil in the joint/carrier and leave it be whilst you go fora ciggie or a coffee. Come back and tap it out from the gearbox side.Failing that, unbolt the carrier from the rear of the block and tackle it off the car with a really big hammer set to "destruction" mode
