[Mk2] [Turbo] Driveshaft support bearing stuck in carrier

Post by toecutter »

As title, have taken out the rubber tipped bolt and the retaining clip, according to engine removal guides I read it should then slide out of carrier no bother.

I had to unbolt the support from the block to pull shaft from gearbox.

Bearing has a fair bit of play in it so I want to change it - am I missing a trick here or are they usually jammed in?
