    Front prop shaft and drive flange

    Just checking to see. If it’s posible to replace the transfer case end prop shaft bolts without removing the 30 mm drive flange bolt and flange? . I can’t get the thing to budge at all
    Regards mark
    Ps 2 of the four prop shaft bolts were buggered ,one being loose, I’m guessing they weren’t changed when the first prop shaft( and second] we’re replaced....basically shook the uni joint to pieces in Bunnings car park
    Thanks in advance

    No. You need to remove the flange. Get a big bar or an impact gun.

    I'd buy a box of 50 nyloc nuts from a bolt supply place, they should never be re- used, probably the cause of your problem.

    Tried the big bar method_—- may have to dig a hole to get enough leverage or find someone with a rattle gun
    The nylocs were replaced but the guy who changed the last prop shaft didn’t change the bolts and there done for _—1 striped one with an angle ground on the end for some reason

    I’ll make up a bar to bolt to the flange to hold it against the chassis

    Hand brake on. Diff lock engaged so it does not move. A 2 foot bar should move it.

    Maybe you can cut the bolts off with a grinder?

    And put the new bolts in the other way

    Nah there’s not enough clearance between the circlip and the flange and I dought you would get clearance between the flange and transfer housing even if you removed the circlip.....I think the circlip is to prevent damage to the transfer case if a bolt shears , looks like it anyway
