hi folks, I am replacing the clutch on my sporty and have run into a problem. I cannot get any of the bolts holding the front propshaft to budge, tried all the usual methods (soaking in wd, heat etc.) but still no joy. Does anyone know if the rear of the prop will just slide out when the gearbox is moved backwards?

Everything else has come apart fine, rear prop is off, all linkages undone, all bellhousing bolts out, just got to remove gearstick.

Any info greatly appreciated as I'm doing this without the aid of a manual!...thanks
