My serious post tonight: Cleaning and repacking prop shaft joints no different than CV repack?
Posted by: alrightroad (4044) on 2014-04-21 21:48:47	Share \| Report

My 6MT swap prop shaft from Bryan has some nice dirt and junk packed in the grease on each end. I have not given it a clear physical check-over but looks easy.

Will tackle those end joint repacks if I can get the center bearing removed (argh!). Have new 034 center bearing ready to install but cannot get the old one to slide off... got center joint apart no prob. Will probably use a 3 prong bearing puller or something. Have not tried that yet.

- FYI, found the parts on Scotty's site. - alrightroad 2014-04-22 11:26:39 (92 views)
- No different. Clean well and repack. Get good quality cv grease only. - stuklr 2014-04-22 00:14:09 (150 views)
  - Thank you sir. I have a small tub of valvoline grease. Good enough? - alrightroad 2014-04-22 11:25:12 (80 views)
    - Does it specifically say CV under uses? They produce alot of heat and the grease must stick better. - stuklr 2014-04-22 12:25:50 (81 views)
      - I'll check. Thanks for tip. - alrightroad 2014-04-22 20:52:40 (84 views)
  - Interesting that the parts diagrams nor service manual show them to be serviceable. - stratocu510 2014-04-22 11:18:47 (101 views)
