drive shaft.

Ok, I removed the four bolts and nuts on the drive shaft flange. The book says that it should drop and then I can pull it back and out. I used a rubber mallet, WD-40, and the shaft won't move a bit. Can anyone help?

Mike

Its probably rusted together and hard to separate. Make sure you removed all 4 bolts and then hit it with heat and a big hammer. It'll pop off eventaully. Watch out your not under it when it does :-)
