Hi and thank you for allowing me into the forum.
I have recently acquired a 1969 3.0 litre non fuel injected 164.
I have already replaced both rear callipers, hoses, clutch slave cylinder and hose and exhaust brackets.
The rear brake on one side was binding and it ended up being a collapsed flex brake pipe. The clutch pedal was really stiff and only returned slowly and again this was down to a collapsed flexi hose.

I have a knocking when accelerating sometimes and it is coming from under the floor around the middle of the car.
From looking at the Propshaft rubber mount there is a lot of play and I can push and pull the propshaft easily about inside the rubber.

I suspect the mount needs replacing so will be doing that and the bearing whilst I am at it.
Can anyone shed some light as to how easy it is to separate the two shafts so I can get the old mount and bearing off please ?
