I have read how to do it on hear, but i can not get 2 of the tapered bolts out of the rear drive shaft, 2 are facing one way 2 the other, i was able to drive 2 of them out but the other 2 i cant get to, Am i doing something wrong?
Thanks for the help

Hold the drive shaft so it doesn't turn; take a 3/4" box end wrench and turn the tapered bolt to break it loose. I add an extension to the wrench and have never needed much effort to remove the bolt. Work smarter, not harder!!

Thanks Wayne , I tried that but i guess i am not trying hard enough, my 3/4 wrench was slipping off. It seems to be very tight, I will give it another shot.
Thanks again

Use a 6 point socket or boxend wrench. Don't use and open end wrench.

The head of the bolt is thin, you will help yourself if you grind the face of the wrench flat to get rid of the tapered section and leave just the wrench flats. A six point wrench is best but they are not very common. I don't think there is enough room in there for a socket if it's the back bolts, but if you can get a socket on it the socket still needs the end ground off to get a full bite on the bolt head. They can be a little challenge to get out but tight is better than finding them loose with the tapers worn out.
