Yeah, I have partially removed the suspension to give maximum movement to the drive shaft. This also allows me to drop the rotor etc out of the way. It looks like there is a coupling like on the left side that allows you to split the shaft, but from ePER it looks as though there may be a circlip holding the shaft in place. The bolts on the coupling that joins the two shaft halves are also really hard to access, and even if I do slip the shaft, if there is a circlip holding the inner shaft in place, I still won't be able to remove it.

I would expect that the V6 GT would be identical to the GTA? Does your GT manual show a circlip on the inner driveshaft Shiny?
