Hey Guys,

If i remove the rear driveshaft from my Vitara will it drop the oil from the gearbox or break a seal?

I think the squeal my car picked up has come as a result of a slight dent in the yoke cover/bell that is on the gearbox end of the driveshaft.

I just don't want to remove the shaft and be owned by a stream oil.

Cheers for any help

A lil bit will come out, but not much, as the fill point if lower than the drive shaft...

seal "should" be ok..

Can always do what we did with a mate's hilux ute when we replaced the rear main seal in the gearbox, jack the back of the vehicle up and you won't get ANY oil out the back.

Pretty sure the front shaft lets all the oil out, I got owned by it, and so did my drive way

Squeal turned out to be the drive shaft joints being too dry...

I had them replaced on my way back from Canberra and it looks like the mechanic forgot to put a nipple on one of them or it fell out.

No more squeekies after being filled with precious grease!
