I've done this twice is the last few years. The H has plenty of clearance to get the drive shaft out. On the M, it is really tight. I've not had any luck doing this until I take out the cross shaft that works the clutch release fork. There are two bolts and two heavy washers that are the clamp system to clamp the release fork to the cross shaft. The heavy washers serve as keys to key the fork to the shaft. Take the two bolts out and then pry out the washers. Disconnect the clutch linkage on the outside, and cross shaft will slide right out. Unbolt the clutch release carrier (the part the throwout bearing slides on) from the top of the clutch housing so that is loose. As others said, compress the clutch springs by putting bolts in the threaded holes in the pressure plate frame. I'm assuming you have the bolts out of the coupling in the shaft. Once all that is done, you may be able to tilt the clutch shaft enough to get it out. I don't think there is anyway on the M to get that transmission input shaft out without taking all this out. You may find that you even have to unbolt the clutch pressure plate from the flywheel to tilt the shaft enough to get it out. There is just not much room to do this on the M. Maybe it can be done without taking all this stuff out, but I have not figured it out yet.

Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
