Tailshaft Is Very Well Stuck In The Gearbox, And How To Remove A Speed Sensor

[reeceo21]

Howdy,

I have just removed my fudged rb20 box and found the tailshaft to be in the quite sturdy, I need this tailshaft in one piece so i was wondering if anyone had any bright ideas on how to remove it ? Also how to you get the speed sensor out of the box. I dont want to break it. Im assuming you just lever it out ?

It should just slide out. Worst case if trying everything and you cant remove it. Open the box up remove the gears and give it a tap from inside.

Ok speed sensor removed. But tailshaft is in that well its not funny. Have tryed pulling it out by tying it to the car and yanking it, didnt work just pulled the box. tryed wacking the living shit out of it and its still there. gahhhhhhhhh

Try a slide hammer? Bolt it to the rear section through original bolts holes and give it a good hit. If they doesnt get it who knows what will!

have you tried spraying it with some lube (preferably a lube designed to penetrate) and let it soak for a few hours first?

Have soaked it in wd40.When and if I get it out I'd love to see the spline on the yoke. Maybe i wont even need the front half for my rb25 gearbox conversion. Just bolt the front 33 half on but I have heard that's to long were as welding a 33 yoke on the 32 shaft is the way to go
