Thread: Got Wood ?

Im getting wood...

Hopefully sooner rather than later...

I've had Wood for a while (and very happy with it).
Mine looks the same as yours, but is probably shorter

Steve

I got wood today. Can't wait to put it in.

With Belanglo boys night next weekend, and the Cross Border Gathering the following week I figured it would be a good time to get the TW shaft fitted.

Talk about a bitch to get the standard shaft out. When I bought the D2 one of the uni's was replaced before we picked it up (was flogged). The one at the diff end of the DC was changed (it has a grease nipple). The T/Case end uni & the diff end uni are still original ... 164,000km and no play. The new one that was replaced is fine, BUT, the play in the centre bearing was pretty noticeable ... latley, I can hear it rattling at slow speed and on over-run I will admit to it being a known issue for the last 40,000km, with regular checks, and monitoring it as it got progressivley worse (and it never got hot. I checked that constantly) ... and when the DC is bent to full angle the ball still has grease on/around it, BUT, the centre pins are obviously badly worn .... time to withdraw from the 40k lottery

Whose the goose who put super strength lock-tite on the propshaft nuts & bolts when they re-installed it!! ?? Duh !! The T/Case end was a bitch, and the diff end was 10x worse ... and 14mm spanners and sockets don't quite cut the mustard, but it's out, with plenty of expletives! Have to get new bolts & nuts ordered tomorrow as the old ones are totally ****ed!

Here's a few pic's of the old vs new ... notice how much more angle the Tom Woods shaft has compared to the standard shaft ?

New nuts & bolts in a couple of days and we're good to go.

Only took you 4 months to fit it

Hey Kev
I hope you got the tool to grease the centre of the Cardan joint?
I got one when I got my shaft .

Been meaning to fax my order w/dimensions for the Deefer off for the last week.

Will ring and fax Tues. morning.

Found spline wear on the Patrol front shaft too t/night

Might send that one to Gibsons for a refresh.

Can't wait to say I have a fully greaseable Woody too.
Goes with my Big Horn/s
