Cant get rear driveshaft off please help

[shanev]

I am currently working on my rear driveshaft center support bearing. its on a 06 4.8is. so what i have done is the rear part of the driveshaft that connects to the diff is currently off and hanging and the center support is off and the bolts for the front of the driveshaft where it attaches to the tranny are off but i cannot get it to detach from the tranny side to save my life. yes all the bolts are off that side including the bolts from the weibo to the shaft and the bolts from the weibo to the tranny yoke. anyone know how to get this freakin shaft to come off???!!! lol grrrrrrrrrrrrrr thanks guys -shane v

Yeah so I can't separate the driveshaft from the tranny yoke. Any tips or anything that can help get this to seperate?

[BigBlack48is]

it looks like it's already starting to come away from the yoke. pry bar pushing the guibo away from the yoke would be the route I would go ( since your replacing the guibo anyways )

Are you planning on just replacing the carrier bearing or replacing the complete drive shaft?

Wow, that is not really normal.

I too suggest pry bar.

Why are you replacing it anyway?

[shanev]

I'm just replacing the center support. The thing in the middle of the driveshaft. Wasn't planning on replacing the guibo if I don't have to

Too late now but you could have separated the driveshaft at the u-joint and replace the center support without having to remove the driveshaft from the trans. But since the guibo looks all f#$k up you will now have to replace the front guibo.

How does the u joints come off. Is it like the old ones with a c clip I'm the center part? Haven't done one in a very long time
