Help

Have drive shaft disconnected from Diff and all the bolts out of the wheel end but it remains securely attached to the hub, have swung the upright down and given it a “tap” but it is stuck fast.

Any ideas anybody ?

Could need warming up with welding gear.. Easier is smother in WD40 over night, give a wack with club hammer putting wood over thread to stop it burring over...

Thanks for that the video gave me the confidence to give it a whack and it came free. As you say a lot easier with the upright completely removed.

Next thing is what are the joints off ? I have fitted a 2nd hand shaft but would like to re joint the old one and put it back.
