There should be 2 holes between the bolt holes in the Haldex side of coupling flange. You can use a pin and hammer to take it off. As far as I remember, the holes were not threaded.
Mine was rusty also. You can try to pull the driveshaft to the front, but that means you still need to disconnect the front end of driveshaft.
But there might be the need for re-learning. Which I had to go thru.
The dealer(in freakin FINLAND) made it look easy, while local guys scratched their head and didn't do anything.
He plugged in the service computer with OBD2 port. Then the pc did something for an hour. And that was it.

The mechanic said that it might break the propshaft if more force is used. Before next service I plan to inject some rust removal aerosol around the connection so hopefully it will come off. Hopefully it will not break the propshaft... |

Hi, you don't need to reprogram the module. The pump is plug and play. I hope your second hand pump is in good order. I used an AOC Pump from eBay. Been on 2 years without fault. |
