Yes, thanks for your help Tim, much appreciated :)

OK, dummies guide to "pulling the shafts" please :wink:
muddyweb:
Take the road wheel off... undo the 6 bolts holding the driving member to the hub, give it a yank.
Have some rag / a tray handy to catch the oil that will come out of the end... it shouldn't be much, but it will be messy.
The shafts should come out, one will be longer than the other. The end that goes into the diff should be properly machined with splines on it.
My money is on the diff to be honest, but you have to take the shafts out to change that anyway.

If you jack up the end your removing it might not be so messy.

Is that a straight forward job - or does it need specialist setting up? Does the whole axle have to come off the car?
