realized that growling sound was not u-joints, but bearing that goes around the input shaft inside the "bell housing" (similar to gimbal bearing)....having trouble removing input shaft to change that back bearing (referring to the solid shaft that goes forward toward the engine)....removed all the snap rings, but the thing is in there pretty solid..is there a good way to pull this shaft out w/o damaging the splines? according to my manual, the shaft should just slide out toward the back...maybe it's stuck to the bearing? there is rust showing on the back of the bearing..<br /><br />please help<br /><br />thanks,<br />Scott
