Hilux mk3 help!

[Owen Green]

I had a knocking noise when in 4 wheel drive and diagnosed it as the front propshaft. Got a replacement, and now I can't get the old one off! It seems that the transfer box and chassis rail are in the way. Does anyone know where I'm going wrong!!?

What you need to do is buy a 57 plate extra cab. I'll sell you mine if you like.

you have to drop the xmember off if my memery serves me right,

I dont remember taking any crossmembers off my n reg hilux when i changed the front prop, and i was very un mechanical back then, so probably wouldnt have done it if you had to take anything else off.

Did one of ours last year dont remember taking the cross memeber off. But it is a bit lifted to say the least which is probably why it ate the prop in the first place.

Thanks for the replies guys, got it sorted today, I took the axle end off first and then it was possible to lift the prop up and just about get a socket and skinny extension bar to the bolts.
