When I left changing a UJ too long last year, it knackered two of the screws which connect the mounting flange to the gearbox. To change these I need to remove the mounting flange from the box. Before I use excessive pressure, can someone please tell me whether the large central nut is left hand thread or right hand thread. Cheers, John
On my Series it's a right hand threaded castle nut - remove the split pin first.

What vehicle John?
On my Defender, the rear prop shaft that comes out of the transfer box (not the gearbox) mounted onto a flange inside the handbrake drum that was held on by a nyloc nut with a right-hand thread. I don't remember there being any great difficulty in removing it.
Both flanges for front and rear propshafts on the transfer box are secured by a right hand thread nut.
