Front Prop UJ (rear)

<< < (2/4) > >>

robbie:
Thanks All, I will probably go for the Hardy Spicer ones cos I do recall them being the better ones.

The bolts are about £0.20 from Paddocks so nothing drastic......

Is it worth doing the front while I have the prop off??

AND IMPORTANTLY

Will the prop fit on the wrong way (back to front so to speak) and if so, does it make any difference.... I know I can mark it no probs, just curious

ChrisW:
Yes do the front while it's off, for the sake of a couple of quid and another 20 minutes it'll save you in the long run  :wink:
The manuals etc talk about marking the prop and gearbox drive flange so the prop goes back in the same position it came off in - if it wasn't that important they wouldn't tell you to do it!

Don't forget the grease gun - the UJ's with a grease nipple are preferable to the non-grease nipple one's  :wink:

s.stirley:
All good advice .. I'd only add pay attention to the phase of the UJs, not sure if it's possible to get them wrong on the front prop (I suspect not) - but if you do it will wobble horribly ! good luck

Hissy:
Or you could just fit a Td5 front prop and transfer box output flange :roll:  :roll:

Just a thought :)  :)  :)  :)  :)

Cheers  Andy

Aparently there is a small cast bip on the male spline casting that should line up with the blank spline on the female (in truth it's a breather spline to allow the propshaft to telescop without pumping itself up).
