I’m in the process of removing the rear propshaft and viscous coupler to gain the access needed for a variation of the dank drop method for replacing the fuel pump, and have gotten half the propshaft out, but the end in the VC is stuck fast…

Any ideas?

Update: eureka! After an hour of spraying with free-all and using a hammer and chisel at an angle towards the front of the car, it came free!

Will be adding this to a write-up about the fuel pump replacement procedure

Given the rust, the stubbornness, and the state of the half-disconnected carrier bearing, I believe you are correct :lol:
