Drive shaft/Diff - puglove - 31-07-2013
Right so some of you know iv changed my clutch and then couldn't get my shafts back in the box due to excessive play,
so iv got another box and got the short shaft in but cant get the long shaft in, wtf is going on?? surly that's not 2 nackered boxes?

Try twisting and wiggling the shaft mate

Check the retaining bolts in the intermediate bearing aren't in the way.
RE: Drive shaft/Diff - C2K - 31-07-2013
You may have the splines aligned, rather than offset - in other words tooth to tooth.
Rotate the shaft a little and try again. As above, make sure the intermediate bearing bolts aren't in the way, and you may be able to use them to pull the shaft home, but don't go nuts as they're only small things.

Nothing wrong with my 'box Jamie, it's definitely a problem with your shaft.
RE: Drive shaft/Diff - puglove - 31-07-2013
The bearing is still 3" away from the housing so the bolts arnt even coming into play at the this point,
And iv spent a fair bit of time spinning and wiggling lol still nothing

try taking the speedo drive out
RE: Drive shaft/Diff - Jonny81191 - 31-07-2013
3"? Erm, put the shaft actually in the hole?
Where's Mrs Puglove, sure she can help with the whole "shaft location" shenanigans..
Seriously though, get a helper to push while you align it?
RE: Drive shaft/Diff - kingy - 31-07-2013
try pulling the shaft backwards and forwards untill it lubercates its self.
works for me anyway.
RE: Drive shaft/Diff - puglove - 31-07-2013
literally it gets through the speedo drive and stops,
has anyone ever took a speedo drive off ?? just wondering if this is anything to do with it
RE: Drive shaft/Diff - Poodle - 31-07-2013
Rubbing the dry shaft can leave some nasty burns, personally i'd slather it with ky first.
RE: Drive shaft/Diff - Dum-Dum - 31-07-2013
Bit of box oil on your shaft might help
RE: Drive shaft/Diff - Jonny81191 - 31-07-2013
Pull the other shaft out and try again?
RE: Drive shaft/Diff - puglove - 31-07-2013
I was trying to do the long one 1st then put the short shaft in as I was getting pissed off then went back to the long shaft so makes no odds if its on or off
RE: Drive shaft/Diff - C2K - 31-07-2013
Wtf, 3 inches be miles away, you must be fouling on something obvious.
RE: Drive shaft/Diff - puglove - 02-08-2013
its in!!!!! i took the sump plug out in the end stuck a screw driver in there and gave the teeth a bit of a wigge whilts pushing the shaft in (gigity) and it slotted straight in.. Thank f*ck for that!
RE: Drive shaft/Diff - Piggy - 02-08-2013

RE: Drive shaft/Diff - Poodle - 02-08-2013
