Just wondering if anyone has successfully disengaged the propshaft from the haldex/diff. It is a 2011 f2 SD and if so how did you do it. I've seen a few threads/videos on the earlier freelanders but not on my one. I need to replace the pinion bearing in the diff which will be a first for me but first the diff needs to be dropped out. :)

okay just read Nodge's post, last time I looked it hadn't been updated, so got the answer
"The propshaft is centred to the diff flange within a cup. It is a mild interference fit, but is easily removed as there are 2 access holes on the diff side to tap it free with a suitably sized drift, obviously remove the 6 Torx bolts first. The diff front mount needs to be released and the diff allowed to lower a bit (keep it supported) so there's enough room for the prop flange to come out.
Technically the bolts are throw away items, but a dab of thread lock on refitting will work just as well. The bolts aren't tightened to yeald in this installation, so reusing them seems ok."
