evening all, just trying to remove driveshafts from gearbox, got a square 354 box, & having trouble finding the pin I need to push through to get them out, also just read on la4ldeSylvie that i need to be careful not to damage oil seals on these..any tips how to get the shafts out much appreciated.

De driveshafts on the 354 gearbox can be pulled out. There is no need to undo any pins. You can help them a bit by levering them with a tyre iron.

But you need to undo the wheel assembly first.
And take at least 500ml of the oil out of the gearbox. Or you might have an oil spill all over the floor.
