my crappy 16v /non 16v hybrid front struts are going to be replaced pretty soon now with the real mccoys .
what i am wondering is ,is there a risk of dislocating/messing the driveshaft at all during the process of removing the existing ones ?????
i know there are 3 bolts holding the shaft on passenger side and a pin on drivers side but even with them ,is there a chance of messing things up by any chance ?????? |

no you cant mess up the driveshafts by taking off the struts unless you are a total babarian
i thought u had already taken your front struts off so you would know that |

I managed to pull my driver side shaft out when I first had my car, but thats becuase the roll pin had totally rusted through |

oh yes ,i noticed that removing the struts on the balck rt ,it is a bit of a tight fit there ,lifting the car further up and wiggleing the thing helps though
