Snapped Passenger side drive shaft

[PYATES2]

Hi everyone having a few problems with my t sport the drive shaft has snapped passenger side and there is still part of the shaft in the gearbox the question is can you remove this section without removing the gearbox?

If the gearbox has to be removed is it an engine out job? 

Cheers Paul

Hi,

It depends on where the drive shaft has broken.

Assuming the TS is similar to the standard Rolla, if the inner joint is intact and still attached to the gearbox then it can be removed as normal with the tools as shown below.

However most folk, as you can see on ytube etc,  will just use a  pry/wrecking bar or use a block of wood and lump hammer to give it a sharp jolt to break the hold of the snap ring.

See this vid 33mins in.

Don't forget to drain the gearbox oil first.
