Has anyone had any issues with removing the rubber bush that the spigot slides in to to centralise the prop to diff flange. need to change the rubber coupling and the bush too but it looks well n truly stuck in.

and before anyone says just change it for a 200tdi rear prop n 4 bolt flange.....that is the future plan, I just have a spare coupling and bush already

Dan,
try giving the prop a good shove towards the front end then just put a pry bar between the bush and spiggot/flange, and again pry. should just pop off,
Are you removing the centrallising pin?

+1 with Bemmy. Plenty of tweaking and prying, it'll' pop off
