Need DriveShaft Help PLEASE

[Huw Powell]

> Working on 1993 urS4.  Transmission to rear diff shaft is almost out.  The CV joint directly behind the transmission will not separate.  Have taken all the bolts out, tapped with hammer (maybe even a little harder then conventional wisdom would allow) and tried to tap into it with a chisel to split the joint as well.

If it's anything like the slightly earlier (and slower...) 90Q, it can
take some determined effort to pop the outer metal covering thing that
is part of the CV joint off the transmission output thing.  But when it
does go, it goes pretty easily.

Try using that hammer and chisel, on the largest diameter bit of metal,
tapping towards the rear.  You may find you will want to rotate the
shaft a bit at a time to keep tapping all around it.  and by "tapping,"
I mean a pretty hard whack, as I recall.

(hoping I remember this all correctly...)
