Does this apply to a 4k too?  I've tried to remove the driveshafts
(front) on 
my C-GT, and it seems I always have to undo the strut housing, because I
can't 
pull the driveshafts far enough inboard to get the splines to clear the
hub.

I'm guessing the 5k's have a wider track, and therefore have a bit more
room 
for unbolting the triple squares, and moving the driveshafts out of
position 
enough to pull the splines out of the hubs.  Is that how it works?
