Split prop shaft problems!

tankduck · May 6, 2011

Afternoon all!
just brought a new genuine LR wide yoke propshaft and when moving it and generally seeing how smoothly a new shaft should slide, the whole splined piece came off......and I can't get it back in more than about 10mm, and then really really struggle to get it out again. Is there only one right way that it will go in or something.....please don't tell me this is a very very expensive mistake!!

Only fits one way...look at the splines, there will be a visible 'key'.

there should be a marker, two opposing arrows (one on each part)
if there aint: ****. You are meant to mark them before sliding them completely out (esp on a series, as you can see balls. There's no arrow after 30 years...
Look for arrowas on near the splines and the other part.

And pray they are there

Broken expensive parts do tend to have some special motivational power...
