First, thanks for the insight and opinions about the leaky tailshaft seal. Before I made those posts I had already thoroughly read the FAQ about the tailshaft bushing and seal.

I've taken off the four bolts/nuts that hold the driveshaft to the flange on the tailshaft. I was expecting the driveshaft to either fall loose, or to be easily shoved back so it would disengage the tailshaft. It didn't do either. It is still firmly in place.

Should I pry the driveshaft flange loose from the taishaft flange? And, I still wonder how the driveshaft is supposed to move backwards, because of the center bearing. Doesn't the center bearing stop the shaft from moving backwards.

Anyway, what do I do to take the driveshaft off of the tranny, so I can continue with removing the tailshaft housing?
