Skanny Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Guys, I have taken the sleder out of the front of the front propshaft and it pulled out by hand no problem. Getting it back in............... I can just about get it started in the splines then it wont go any further, I knocked it in with the hammer a few centimeters and it was well tight, i had to knock it back out with the hammer. I removed the grease nipple and it made no difference second time round. is there a specific way the splines are supposed to line up? Many thanks Mr frustrated!

rick Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 You did mark which way it came out, didn't you ? It's a good idea when undoing things like prop shafts to mark each section with a corresponding mark so that assembly can be the same way they came apart so that things like balance aren't adversely affected. BTW, the front prop is 'phased' ie, the uni's aren't in line with each other, one is offset about 30* relative to its mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars L Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 And it only comes together in the correct position. When you find that, there will be no problem to push it home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacks906 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 i guess it has a master spline so only fits one way just keep pushing it rotate a bit push abit rotate it etc till they match dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 no master spline, but there is a alignment arrow on both parts, you may need to do some cleaning to find them, but don't damage the rilsan coating on the splines, otherwise you'll be buying a new propshaft assembly.

landmannnn Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 The rislan coating can get a bit chewed up preventing the splines allowing the propo to be put back together. I have trimmed the rilsan a little in the past as a temporary measure. Don't take it apart! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
