Success. You may not believe this or not. But the pictures will dictate what is working. I called up powertrain and spoke with their ebay guy. I asked him if the intermediate shaft was connected somehow on the drivers side. He looked it up and said it is not. No alignment ring or retainer...

Removed the old seal, as it shows in one of the pictures. The old gear fits on the shaft I took out. I spoke with powertrain and they going to send out a replacement. Their concern was the intermediate shaft being dinged up or scored. I can send the old one back once it I get the new one on...

2003 Trailblazer ext 4 wd LT. engine is a 6 cylinder 4.2. Going to call powertrain tomorrow and see what my options are. Did a bunch of reading on this and not one had an issue with it lining up and fitting the intermediate shaft. Now some did say that the shaft can go bad if it is dry and...

Kind of figured it out. I think they sent me the wrong disconnect. Reason I say this is because I fitted it on the cv axle shaft (wheel side) and it fit fine. I put the old gears on the shaft and they slip right in. On the part I bought if you look at this picture this is the exact room...

I do want to say your my only source of help at this point and appreciate all your doing. Even it doesn't get fixed.

Went out and tapped the shaft nothing really seated. Do I have to take apart the drivers side now to see why the shaft wont fit? I bought the part off of ebay and it said it would fit a trailblazer 2003. lt ext...

ill go out and tap it to see what happens. Should i tap also the cv disconnect?

Ok got it out after about 4 hours of chiseling. Now this happened and I don't know if I screw something up or not. I got it down to the seal, it was mentioned to remove the seal with some screws drilled into it. This came out pretty easy, BUT the shaft also came out about an inch with the...

I see now you mean a wood chisel. I have some I can use and resharpen if I have too. do you mean drill out where I put the green circles?

Had an after thought. What about an air hammer with a modified chisel on it? I am finding it more and more difficult to get a hammer in there to strike the chisel. Just an afterthought. HF has em for 13 bucks at 90 psi.

Do you mean position the chisel like this and beat toward the rubber seal in the bottom of the bowl? Would you think trying that carbide drill would be dangerous? The shaft to the hole saw is 3/8" I was going to grind down the shaft to make it blunt then slowly using the 2 1/2" carbide bit...

Well after tackling it this morning, I was able to get the needle bearing out like the post shows. But, I think mine is more corroded than what the authors has. I chiseled, as much as I could without too much damage. I even tried to grind it out with a dremel tool that has sander...

This is a god send for my current situation on my disconnect. I am right on the step of chiseling out the inner seal. I am glad to know that I can break the seal or needle bearing to give me more room to break the rest free. I used a drill stop on my electric 1/4 drill so I did not drill...
