The prop has splines on it if you pick it up by one end it will slide apart
Its balanced so its important to keep it together ( that's why i say draw a line down it )
so if it separates you can mach up the line and not rotate it out of balance

Forgive my thickness. I've changed radiator and belts etc on it but this is new to me. If I unbolt the shaft at each end I then need to knock it forward away fromtransfer box. Are the spines on each end of the shaft itself. Can the whole long shaft split apart. . Thanks so much for your patience!!

When all the 8 bolts are removed the prop shaft will be stuck in position
i use an old wood chisel to split it from diff and transfer flange
you could use a flat screw driver or just tap it with a big hammer
then just pull it out

The prop has eight bolts, Four at each end, (black circles). With the bolts removed, if the prop doesen't fall off, Just gently tap one end or the other with a soft hammer or mallet and it will come loose.
The red circle is the splined joint. Try not to seperate it there.

It's been fettled just a tad.

Awesome thanks so much for that. As above I'm under car now. Bolts very tight. Shaft seems to flex as informing. Is it ok to keep forcing them?

Yeah, The bolts will be locktighted on. Make sure your spanner/socket is a good fit and lean on them, They will give in the end.

The end of the diff is flexing feels like it would snap if I pull any harder. Does it have to be in gear or anything
