Reply to "1/2 Shaft"

does200Member

Fordgt, you were correct. The wife watched intense as I worked on the shaft and shouted, "it sliped out".

It was difficult though to pull the bolts out, as the shaft kept moving around binding on the bolts when rotating to get at the bolts to pull them through. It finally came out though, but I had to remove the break and wiggle it around the A arms and exhaust. I have the big bore mufflers which didn't seem to get too much in the way.

Funny thing though, when I first jacked up the car and spun the right wheel, the wheel would only spin around about 180 degrees or so, and be stopped by the trans for some reason. Same when taking off the wheel to get the shaft out, could only spin about 180 degrees or so, and so it made it more difficult to get the shaft out. And the car it is in nutral. I thought in nutral the wheels should turn freely. Isn't that odd?
