Re: [DML] angle drive snapped (I think)

["thebrave65" <johnnysher1@xxxxxxx>]

That's excatly what I had to do just this weekend.  Whack it with a 
hammer to get it off the nut.  The snap ring was totally corroded and 
the angle drive was seized to the nut.  One vise clamping and a few 
dozen good smashings later, it popped out.  Before I get flammed for 
my technique, I can assure everyone that it was the only way.

I used a 1.25" open-end wrench to get the nut off and a 32mm socket 
for the hub.  They are essensially the same size and I purchased both 
at Checker Auto.

BTW:  This was my first part replacement that I have ever done on my 
DeLorean since I've had it in January.  I did it solo and it was not 
that hard and DMCH was very helpful over the phone.  (So was a local 
member of our AZ club - THANK YOU MATT)!
