If forced to reuse the old one, I would get that crap off there and drill a hole for a grease fitting and pump it full...

Im the only one here that seemed to have an issue with it 😕 as far as reassembly , im also the only one here , or anywhere i think , that had the turn signal socket fiasco . I keep "taking one for the team" for some reason... on a side note 📝, Im very proud 👏 of myself for handling it so well...

I guess that stuff is called "glidecoat" , but it seemed to do the opposite for me...

Im a little thick , i admit i was perplexed momentarily...

I was never worried about the Tom Woods shaft spinning parts off, that's much more likely to happen with the factory driveshaft , I was just wondering how people were thinking they could excede the critical speed on that chart as my numbers were under 4000 even at 100 mph , making me think I...

I agree , but each had a little play and the initial attempt seemed to line up fine and went in aleast half way before resisting, and nothing seemed to be binding as far as lining up, then things got progressively worse and when I started feeling grit in the grease, I called it...

It looks like they are sending bolts for the front flange , did everyone reuse the bolts for the rear or buy new as i think Ford says toss them, but that's most likely because of the loctite... they were tight, damn tight with a short wrench...

Yeah , i marked it ... and i did it with the tires on the ground so it wasn't even rotated. Not sure how I screwed this one up. First attempt it went in about halfway before I felt it resisting so I thought maybe too much grease so I pulled it back apart . After that each attempt went in less...

I thought the blue was the damn grease when it first came apart ... Mine had a reddish colored grease on it, and not much of it...

I thought about setting the whole damn thing on fire 🔥, maybe that would have actually helped...

You can see in the pic that the yoke end has flat spots at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock, which might be useful if the spline end had the same... That blue coating is the issue, I would try and melt it off if I didn't have a new one coming ...

Yes, and during and after and currently... you think 🤔 that might be the issue?

I didnt drop the center at first , just the rear, and then every combination but to no avail...

I just ordered one, but I'm a little confused on the critical speed chart as people were saying they would be beyond the safe specs .When I put in 32 for tires and 3.73 gears, it shows me below the 4000 rpms even at 100mph ? Im not now nor was i ever afraid one would come apart but did I do...

Just wiped it mostly, no spray cleaner or solvents...

You Tom Sawyer'd me !!! And not the cool Tom Sawyer from Rush, the crappie one that got others to do his work by trickery!!! My wife is pretty mad at you though, but im gettin' a new driveshaft ! OR Did i somehow subconsciously (or perfectly consciously ) sabotage my own driveshaft in order...

Took the whole damn thing out and it still binds up, that plastic coating is the bad guy I think 🤔, thats definitely the story I told the wifey when the credit card dinged her phone for $740.00... Im mad and glad at the same time as maybe I'll finally lose that slight vibration from the carrier...

Decided to do this today and it has turned into a freaking nightmare! Slipped apart fine and I cleaned it up some and spread a little grease, not to much , and the damn thing won't go back together. It will go maybe an inch and then thats it , ive tried it every which way and if I force it , I...

Is this the female version of "bros before hoes" ? Bitches before snitches ?

6k sounds way too cheap.imo..just the bedside and taillight alone would be half that...
