Replacing diff with Q2 myself

Hi there, I have eventually ordered and received the Q2 diff from EB Spares late last week and spent the weekend under the car.

I have removed the outer diff casing, split the left drive shaft, removed the driveshaft flanges from the diff casing, and disconnected the top bolt on the right hand suspension and steering arm (allowing maximum movement of the right driveshaft). Unfortunately there is not enough movement to pull the right shaft all the way out off the diff.

Has anyone removed the driveshafts from a V6 before? To me it looks as though I will need to split the right shaft which will be a major pain in the preverbial as the bolts to do so are really hard to reach.

The workshop CD says to simply remove the driveshafts, but doesn't go into detail of how to do it.

Once I get the diff out, it will be a cinch to install the Q2. I'll post a how to with piccies when complete if anyone is interested.

Cheers, Nathan
