[Peugeot-L] 1978 504D torque tube

From: ouigpt <ouigpt_at_yahoo.com>

  The scenario... My torque tube is bolted to differential, 2 bolts/cap screws holding differential to frame have been removed, exhaust system hangers are undone, 4 female bolts mating torque tube to ZF3HP22 extension housing have been removed. With all this I can't move drive shaft far enough back to clear tranny. As it stands now, I believe I can see the end of drive shaft just barely beyond extension seal. The tube has been moved aft approx. 4 inches.
  The questions...should I be looking to move the tube farther aft?{spare tire has been removed, tire Oncarrier is down for added clearance} ...I tried to move shaft with tube, but does it sound like I could have messed up, and now the spring in the rear of the drive shaft has fallen out and preventing me from obtaining mecessary clearance?   I understand that without being here to look no one can really know what is actually going on, but if you have attacked these tubes before your insight will be a hell of a lot better than mine.
  Would spinning one wheel{only} while feeling no rotation in shaft be proof that rear of shaft{and spring} has come undone?
