Help! I cant get the propshaft off the sprocket adapter!!
I need to take the sprocket adapter off as there is too much movement on the splined shaft (I think I need to add a washer). I have undone the 4no
bolts holding the propshaft to the sprocket adapter but the two are stuck together. How can I separate them? Tried WD40 and hitting the edge of the
propshaft with a hammer and screwdriver but the two just wont separate.
Any suggestions??
Cheers!!

If in doubt, use a bigger hammer!!

I'd be looking at a very thin chisel, or a wallpaper scraper hammered into the join.

While its off drill and tap a couple of 6mm holes. Then you can then screw bolts into them in the future to seperate the two halves.
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

Put it in a low gear and push the car rocking it backwards and forwards.

Put the brakes on and start the engine 
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
