Any hints on separating a tailshaft?

well why are you here if you dont want to help

In this one case I would rather keep it a secret because it makes me money.
On most other issues I'm happy to help.

Likewise. I was wondering the same.

I do recall reading in the Holden service manuals that there were some changes made somewhere during the production of the VT - VY. Apparently the early tail shafts were serviceable, but later models had ‘non serviceable’ tail shafts as there is a clip that can’t be replaced without cutting open the tail shaft. There might be unofficial ways of servicing these tail shafts, but I suspect that it explains why some tail shafts are very hard to separate.

Everyone on here can make money on things they give advise on and they don't act like a little child making comments like this....

And it's not just with car related things....It's alot of things in general....

So stop being childish and actually give advise instead of this B/S

Or is it, you don't actually know?

Yes there is a clip, it's the same as the clip on any CV shaft.
