thanks,for your thoughts.I have a Chev 37 service manual,and i followed the steps to the letter..I have removed the wire clipsfrom the trunnion bearings,and can slide the bearings to the outside,but they wont come off because theres not enough room,they are up against the ball retainer housing,before they are free to come off..Some of my contacts have suggested removing U bolts and sliding the axle back,so driveshaft is clear of spline.cheers Kevin.
