question on input shaft change
Hi Guys
I need to replace the input shaft on my 2005 C6 base Man6
I have the motor out and have access to remove the clutch release bearing/slave from the front end of torque tube, but the transmission end is still all bolted up.
Is it possible to change the the input shaft without removing the torque tube from the transmission end.....or has the whole torque tube have to be removed and withdrawn from the transmission end?
Cheers

Ok, so i took the TT off the car, removed the whole shaft assembly and both rubber couplers are in great shape, i now have to remove the input shaft to replace with new, including the bearing, retaining clip and slinger but am a little worried about the balancing issue, i dont have anywhere within a thousand miles that can balance prop shafts, so is there a way of marking before removal that will not require a re-balance?

Thanks for the replies guys, One last question then i'm sorted.
It seems that the rubber coupling has to be removed 1st because of access to the bolts on the input shaft, ......does it have to be marked in any way before removal?
Would have preferred to have just undone the input shaft bolts and not the coupling but its a weird angle on the bolt because of the shaft.
