    Propshaft separation

Cheers for...

    Propshaft separation

    just had a phone call from the garage my car is in to get the rear brakes,fuel cradle and vcu bearings replaced but they can’t split the propshaft.Is it more than likely they don’t know what they’re doing or can these be a pain to separate?
