ur gonna have to remove the whole lot mate im afraid. 17mm spanner for the nuts and a mate on the brakes always helps crack them off. If ur changing ur prop bearing housing make sure youve got the rite one cos there is a difference in the distance between the bolt holes. (14cm centre to centre on early cars and 13cm on later cars). hope this helps bud

Mark the front and back sections of the prop, so that after you split it in half and replace the bearing, you can put it togeth with the same splines mating together.
Important, as the prop has been balanced as a whole shaft. Get it wrong and it may be out of balance and vibrate.
