I have purchased a used gear vendors unit and I have all of the parts off and ready to go except I am unable to remove the GV tailshaft housing that connects to the GV unit itself. I've contacted GV and their instructions guided me to messing with the parking pawl but I've tried everything with no luck. This is the third time I have made the 2 hour drive out to try and remove this section. I really don't want to do it again. Anyone have any ideas or tips on how to remove this tail shaft housing?
I have it disconnected from the trans and I can pull it away from the trans about 1/4" at the most. It will turn freely unless in park but it feel like it snags on something and won't slide off.
