Ok managed to get the drive shaft off. There seems to be lateral (up down) play in the output shaft. My Stage 1 supplement shows a roller bearing supporting the output shaft so I am not sure what I will find as I dig deeper
Hi I am trying to remove the front drive shaft of my stage 1 3.9D but do not know whether the rear uni unbolts off what appears to be an adaptor plate bolted to the output shaft or the adapter plate comes off first

Been a while since I had mine apart but think its a ball bearing rather than roller. Possibly a metric one IIRC.

Stage 1 front drive shafts should have a double cardan joint at the gearbox. The adaptor plate on yours is to put a std front shaft on. Front flanges on stage 1 gearboxes had larger pcd than std lt95's. The double cardan joints are very expensive to replace.
From the looks of it you have a adapter plate and are using a 110 propshaft.
Much better idea.
I have the same floating around the shed as it was cheaper to buy a shaft than the DC joint.
