I love the level of professionalism put into this.

The land rover idea sounds fab!

From personal experience roping trucks to things and then driving away works on many different levels. Including pulling frames relatively straight and getting doors that wouldn't open prior to open again.

+1 on the LR tug

[M.Burroughs]

Its free, but jesus, I'm convinced it won't be coming apart.

I'm gonna chain the tranny to a tree tomorrow and yank the driveshaft out with the rover... if it works.
Rover let me down today.

Heat up yoke with the torch, when it gets hot, heat it with big hammer few times (not sledge hammer). It should come off relatively easy! Don't use LR, it's stupid and uneducated to force things this way.

that. perhaps try and prise it with a crowbar too. none of this will damage the yoke.

i have pulled bits with other cars before (twice i pulled the diff centre out of my old skyline with cars). but for something like this, it really shouldn't be necessary.

also out of curiosity, is it a W58 or an R154? a basically stock 1J shouldn't be smashing 154s...

This thread is WIN!

You guys don't understand the ridiculousness of this.

Sorry, but no one will ever get it, except for maybe Nic, Ben, Andrew, and Jerry who have actually worked on the car. Anything that can go wrong will. How bad will it be? As bas as imaginable.

We took an angle grinder and cut apart the back end of the transmission, beat it to a pulp... no dice.

We chained the driveshaft to the back of the land rover... and then used a 4500lb tow strap to attach the tranny to a tree.

Snapped the strap like it was nothing.

We're admitting defeat. New driveshaft time.

[Kielan]

It was a valiant effort.
