Has anyone ever had a problem removing the props haft - I was expecting an easy job but cannot get it out - the cv joints seem to be stuck in the flanges - any ideas on freeing them off ?

Leave it on the car, bolts removed, drive around a bit, it will soon come loose.
Just make sure there is something to catch it when it comes off, integrales have a U shaped hanger around them.

Often they are stuck, somebody might have 'glued' it on, I have seen this before....

Thanks ... The drive would be difficult as the front is all dismantled ! I have the engine out now as I split the shaft at the uj. I think you are correct they seem glued or loctited on .
