Don't quote me only ever done it on a manual, First time was easy came right out with a gentle pull, second time was a pain but found that if the tube was exactly straight then it just slid straight out...... I'm sure one of the experts will be along soon with a more technical and correct response |

No expert , but the times I have removed them it is just a case of pulling and gentle use of pry bar. On the last one I removed there was signs of heavy wear of the splines where the flywheel fits . You can see the wear on the bottem shaft compared to the top in the photo. This could make removal slightly harder.

There is a circlip on the torque tube splined shaft its a pain to get at. Won't come out untill you remove it. |

You have to slacken the cap head bolt that goes through the square block on the splined shaft on the gearbox side of the flexplate. Unbolt the 9 caphead bolts that hold the flexplate and ring gear to the flywheel, this will then allow you to move them backwards to expose the circlip on the engine side of the flexplate. You have to remove this to pull the torque tube out. Its as easy to remove the reference sensors and then unbolt the bellhousing and pull that back to give you more room. Which ever way its a pain. Good luck. |
