Hi all I have a Range rover evoque L538 that's the first generation 2.2sd4 2012 plate and hoping you guys can help, I understand the chassis is the same as freelander 2 and shares alot of parts including the propshaft and haldex, I'm really struggling, so I'm fitting a new petrol tank shield which means the propshaft has to come off, so I have all 6 bolts out from propshaft to haldex flange I have the center bearing bolts out and the front 6 bolts to the propshaft out and even with massive force the propshaft won't release from either end, I'm really struggling to see what I can do and don't understand why the prop won't release , PLEASE can someone tell me what's wrong, the only thing I haven't done is dropped the front of the diff down as one of the bolts is really tight..

Is the method described in this thread what you are looking for?

Many thanks, I've managed to get the prop to haldex flange out this morning using the 2 m8 bolts in the back of the flange with a 3 washers inbetween and a bolt in the unthreded hole , it just popped out, but the front prop to flange is not coming out so it continues, we are going to try and put a rachetstrap on the prop and force it out unless any one knows any other ways,

The info you require might be in the free JLR workshop manual - have you looked at that ? Jules
