Now that you have pulled it apart make sure you put it back together EXACTLY on how you separated it, as it was balanced as an assembled unit. (if you refit it and the yokes are say 180 degs out )

After i thread lock and wind the nipple back in anyone want a reconditioned greasable unis shaft for a bargain?

The new shaft has a couple of degrees for angle on the bigger unis and the splines are much longer. About the same weight...not that much in it.

I would hang on to that one as a spare. Then again, the clutter in my garage reflects that thinking too.

Thanks mate. I fitted it this morning. I had take a pic a few nights ago...all nipples line up per the photo above so all good

Slunnie may do that. I was hoping Tom's was the last shaft I would ever fit

Cheers

RE the TW, All Depends on how you treat it. I had a customer come back with a busted one. It left him in a predicament out in the high country. He ended up driving out on front wheel drive only and had to winch himself up inclines as as he couldn't make it on front wheel drive.
They are not indestructible/bullet proof. He did tell me he gave it a hammering.
