Hi Ian,
If it's 'just' the half shaft you want to renew there is another way. Undo the bolts around the differential casing and remove half of the axle casing - just one side. The differential and both half shafts then slide away from the pinion. I've done this a few times lying under the car, it'll be easier still over a pit?
And on reconstruction follow all the other advice on the Forum about halfshafts particularly about tightening them v b tight - and following them up over the next few hundreds of miles.
I hope you get it moving again.
Dave
