So, the latest project I am taking on in the 1993 240 is the replacement of the center carrier bearing on the driveshaft after a pretty catastrophic failure of the rubber bushing. I have the driveshaft assembly out and the parts are on order, but I am having trouble figuring out how the two driveshaft pieces are supposed to separate.

Bentley's says to separate the shafts, but offers no hints on how to do it.

I can see the dust cover, and where the splined end of the rear shaft inserts into the front. Is there some sort of trick to getting the pieces apart? I haven't tried to use too much force yet, but if there's no other way I guess I have no choice. Anyway, if someone's done this before any help would be appreciated.
