I borrowed a ball joint separator from Vatozone today. It didn’t work at all. Slipped off quite violently on my last go at it.

Removed the ATLP J-Pipe, not the intermediate shaft is ready to come off. I popped the remaining Exhaust pipe with a tire prop.

Easy access to the shaft. Start by removing the bracket that holds the rear pre-cat in place.

Heres what the rear of the engine should look like with the x3 bolts of the black intermediate shaft heatshield should look like. Then remove the x3 bolts that hold the internediate shaft in place. The top bolt will be tricky. Use a a wrench with a smaller handle.

The intermediate shaft has no clip on the spline, so removal is easy, just pull at the base at the tranny. But do not pull on the axle itself, it may ruin it.

Pointer points at the same bolt in the anterior part of the engine. This bolt goes from engine to tranny. To get to this bolt you must remove the part of the front mount that goes from the front mount to the engine. There are a total of x5 bolts to remove this bracket.

The driver side axle has a clip that must be taken out with care. you don't want this breaking inside the trannys differential. If you apply pressure to remove the axle at the base of the tranny and it doesn't go, try turning it a hair and keep trying until it pops.

remove the clutch line with a 10 socket and move the line out of the way. You don't want it breaking when you move the tranny out of the way.

The tranny does not weigh much. One person can Easily remove it. comes off like butter. Make sure to place a jack of some sort under the tranny for the first inch or so. You will then have the spline rod holding on the engine, and the other end resting safely on the subfame.

Move the tranny out of the way! I will jimmy it a bit more, but there is plenty of room for the job.
