2012 550 xp eps.
front prop shaft: u joints are shot, so I knocked out the pin in the front yolk but the yolk is frozen on the splines. the back of the prop shaft rides easy on the trany side as I can see from all the play in the ujoints. whats the trick to get the yolk off without destroying the front differential? I will try more spray and more time but I hope someone has a trick.
thanks

got it loose. more and better spray. Corrosion X, took a break and then a few more light to med hammer taps and out it came. I guess better than my 500 which had a perpetual loose yolk to shaft issue.
happy riding

when you put it back use some anti-seize

yes ATF an acetone is a good rust buster so is acetone mixed with marvel mystery oil...

I got a little chuckle out of this post. YOLK is part of an EGG and a Yoke is part of an atv. That acetone and anti-sieze will absolutely ruin the taste of his egg....LOL

HAHA..good catch....the anti seize will keep him regular...the acetone will help in digestion...lol
