Hi, Our car is LHD so I may have got my O/S and N/S confused. I bolts I can't undo even with CRC, are the are the bearing support bolts on the long driveshaft. I'm wondering if it is necessary to remove the long drive shaft prior to the gearbox removal or will the long drive shaft slide out of the gearbox anyway as the gearbox is removed? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Noel

Hi, Progress has been slow, and I have found it impossible to undo the N/S drive shaft bearing support bolts. As I can't get these bolts undone, even though I have sprayed them with CRC, I'm wondering if it is necessary to remove the N/S drive shaft prior to the gearbox removal or will the N/S drive shaft slide out of the gearbox anyway as the gearbox is removed? Cheers Noel

Hi, Thanks for your advice. I have ordered the parts. Cheers Noel

Hi Moderator, Thanks for you reply. I think I've got all the information from the multiple sources I need to confidently do the job. I'm planning to undertake the job next Tuesday weather permitting. I'll let you know the result. Cheers Noel

Hi Mike, Thanks for replying. I had read that in the Haynes Manual but http://pmmonline.co.uk/technical/clutch-clinic-citroen-c5/ don't make any reference to it at all, so I was wondering if it was just an optional step. Cheers Noel

Hi, I have bought the new clutch and preparing for the job by reading all the forums, and watching all the youtube videos I can, as I live in rural France and once I start the job I'll be without transport till I finish the job. Do I need to pull the driveshafts out of the hubs to get the shafts out of the gearbox, or can I pull the driveshafts out of the gearbox without removing the shafts from the hubs, once I have undone the bottom ball joints? You help will be appreciated. Cheers Noel
