I have to replace both front driveshafts off my cossie, drivers side was easy but the passenger side has got me stumped? how do i withdraw the shaft from the intermeadiate shaft end? does it just pull out? is there a retaining clip? my workshop manual is not that helpfull!

Ooops, edited as I thought you meant the cross-shaft

they both just pull out with a hard yank

The o/s is retained in the diff with a large C clip

everyone who has posted the same question here has had their clips missing

also, none of the xr4x4's had this clip

not saying that it shouldn't be there, but the majority of posters don't seem to haev them

Been tugging, jiggling this flipping driveshaft which has now pulled the hub end and majority of the shaft apart from the splined end which goes into where the speedo drive is! is there any method to getting this thing out apart from just yanking it cos it's not budging!
