I just had a similar failure on my '04V70R. The transmission and angle/bevel gear are bolted together. Both have a splined shaft output. A splined collar is what couples the shafts. When the collar strips out, no more AWD. The splines of the shaft can also be damaged during a failure like this.
As I said, I was fortunate that the collar was the only part that was damaged, and the shafts of the tranny and bevel gear were undamaged. I was also fortunate that I can do this work myself. I can almost 100% guarantee that the dealer would've had to replace my tranny, since their tool wouldn't have been strong enough to remove the collar.
Also I foud out that now you can order the bevel gear assy with a 1 day delivery. (before apparently it was not open to the public)
Ive had success and made progress, I used a aluminium flat bar and stuck it under the stud and then hit it with a soft mallet and after a few blows it worked its way upwards, it looks like there was bad oxidisation around the studs so they were stuck solid! [links]
Does the u joints have to be rotated in a certain position in order for it to lift up ok? here
I read on this site in another thread its meant to lift straight up, i can only get it to move 1-2mm upwards away from the intermediate housing, its like theres something behind preventing it lifting up any further.
If it is stuck on the drive shaft then what? :blue: here
Could something of seized together? more
Great! Thanks for the response chap! [links]
In my three decades as an accredited marine surveyor, I've seen struck submerged object (SSO) claims that involve floating logs, pilings, dock timbers, tree branches, moorings, dredge pipes, floating nets, crab traps with lines and buoys, sunken cars, refrigerators, shopping carts. . I can go on and on. If it's in the water, someone has hit it.
When a vessel with inboard power strikes a submerged object, it often results in bent running gears, such as props, shafts, struts, and rudders. A severe impact may tear out a prop shaft, strut, or rudder or may drive a strut through the hull bottom. This will result in the vessel taking on water. The vessel may jolt or come to an abrupt stop or may pitch forward, which may result in seawater rushing forward up the engine's exhaust. here
Some newer vessels are equipped with pod drives such as the Volvo Penta IPS drive or Mercruiser Zeus drive. These are like a hybrid between a sterndrive and an inboard and are fitted with larger inboard diesel engines. Pod drives will suffer similar impact damage or torsional damage as described for a sterndrive or inboard. The parts are just larger and more expensive. They can also suffer electronic damage to the computer controlled steering, shift mechanisms, electronic steering controls or electronic shift and throttle controls.
Submerged objects can be one of the most dangerous hazards while out on the water. Safety is key when it comes to handling a situation when your vessel strikes a submerged object. While panic can set in, it is vital to remember some important tips if you find yourself in this tricky situation. Read more below for what to do if your vessel strikes a submerged object.
In rare cases, the water can enter the cylinders through the exhaust valves, and because water does not compress, you may end up with a condition known as hydrolock. This could bend or break a connecting rod resulting in a catastrophic engine failure. here
When this happens, the vessel will lose propulsion and water will start to flood the vessel through the gimbal bearing, which is where the drive shaft for the outdrive penetrates the transom of the vessel. The gimbal bearing can be plugged with a rag or other available object to slow the water flow. The vessel will have to be hauled immediately. Lines or crab pots entangled in the prop may result in torsional damage to the outdrive such as a bent prop, bent or twisted prop shaft, twisted or broken vertical shaft and broken or stripped gears, broken U-joints, spun propeller hub or engine coupler, or stripped splines on the engine coupler or drive yoke shaft.
