did the crow bars work for you? im just in the middle of replacing my clutch and i cant get my drive shafts out either.ive got my friend on his way round with a couple of crow bars so will it be safe to really force them out? they move back in towards towards gearbox and have a couple of mm play in them, but when you pull them out they just stop as if there is some kind of clip or something holding them in.

Get a pair of sirclip plyers (sp)
They're fiddly & messy to get out but as said normally a good push then hard pull can do the trick.

Easiest method.

just like to confirm the push in pull out method worked for me today  thanks for the tip guys. although i couldnt really get the drive shafts level when i did it due to the brake disks being in the way.still worked though.
