After about 4 or 5 bonks the shaft fell out the front. Here you can see it moving, notice the c clip groove is moving forward (to the left).

And here's a peek down the empty tailshaft! It's pretty clean in there, all things considered!

Now I knew the tail gasket was bad in the back so I wanted it out. It had water in it from my washing. So I went to pull it out like I did the last one with my crowbar. No going! It didn't budge. So I took my new pull hammer to it.

The seal didn't come out, but this little ring did! I don't remember seeing this on Cecilia's tranny. It holds the seal to the shaft!

I finally got it out by destroying it. I drove a screwdriver down the side of it and pried up.

And then I took that tailshaft outside to give it a good wire-wheeling. I'm a'gonna paint this sucker!

It took 3 batteries and about an hour to wheel all the rust and gunk that was left over from the bath. I got it all done though. He's shiny as a new penny and ready for prepping. Here I ran out of time so the rest will have to wait a day or two. Here's a pic of the middle of the job. Very nice before-after pic, eh?
