Hi folks,

I am trying to remove the rear drive shaft and hub assembly and I can not get
it to budge. The Bentley Manual makes it sound so easy. Just remove the 4
bolts securing the drive shaft inner flange to the differential, remove the
six nuts securing the hub bearing housing to the trailing arm and "withdraw
the hub assembly and drive shaft complete". Yea right!! This sucker just won't
move. I assume that it must come out to the outside rather than toward the
differential. Even if I am going in the right direction, I doesn't look like
the drive shaft flange can fit through the hole in the trailing arm. What am I
missing (besides the boat!).

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
