Aye. Im still a novice. So think will have to see a speciallist to find out what prop i need.

Not sure what you mean by splines.

But here is tube link to what the furthest back uj is like.


Cheers

Seems like my input is too late but I've scrapped far better uj's than that. Just imagine that coming apart and spinning round under your backside. If you were local to me I'd take a look around for you, so I'm sure somebody nearby will offer the same.

I don't need to imagine :(
 
might be worth checking the other grease points pretty soon too.

You tagged me? Read the thread, I wouldn’t drive that with that prop attached. It’s literally at failure point.

New UJ’s

All you need is a vice or BIG g clamp, a grinder, handful of sockets (as spacers), circling pliers and some new UJ’s - DONT buy pattern/britpart ones.

Google what to do, I hadn’t rebuilt propshafts before and did both mine in an afternoon.

I first tried pressing them out, takes ages, so cut them out instead. DONT damage the actual prop shaft though, just cut the UJ

If you know your way round a toolbox it’s easy tbh

Cheers. I going to give it a shot.. just need to work out what size hardy splicers i need. Would i need to take one off to measure it properly?
 
@Danjo depending upon where you buy your uj's from this can make life easier

You'll also need a 9/16 " spanner if you haven't already got one
 
If the fender is your daily drive. Drop the bad prop off totally and put it in diff lock then you can still drive.

If it’s the rear prop shaft you take off put the nuts back on the handbrake drum so it doesn’t all fall off lol.

Also bear in mind that if you drop a rear prop off then you don’t have a hand brake anymore as it works on the transmission. So make sure you chock the vehicle.

Yeah I know, I meant When he takes the prop off on his drive to repair it, not chocked and the car will roll when the prop is off. Easy thing to over look but could be nasty :/
 
All great advice guys. Cheers. Shame i cant find anywhere that sells them off the shelf near me. So might take it off and use in diff lock until they arrive .

Thanks
