I went back to the farm i left my truck at, to "jury rig" it, so it could make it home under it's own steam. I pressed the foward UJ apart to get the yoke off to block the shaft hole up to keep all the oil in the gearbox. But how do I keep it retained while still letting it spin

This 1 is worthy of the "bush repair" thread but i wasn't in the bush
Within 2 minutes it was done




Drove it home (about 25-30k's) Worked mint
Thank god the nissan is a real 4wd and has no center diff
Drove at normal highway speed, with only front wheel drive.
Reminded me of a landcrab that i learned to drive when i was 12 over 25 years ago
Now to start a thread to search for a replacement drive shaft

[LOLYF]

Now you can keep that yolk and bolt in your toolbox for next time

I remember taking my lux for a spin with no rear shaft once. It was an interesting drive with a lockright in the front

You took your time to post, Mark
That was my thoughts exactly
Picked up driveshaft today, and fitted 5 mins ago,
back on the tracks

Norwest now have a new award trophy......"The twisted Failure"

[monstr]

Will have to see if you can do the front one next time ,dont forget you still have an unfinished track to do

Me's think I will winch over that rock next time
If you remember I have done the front one before, and I never will do one again as I have a spare complete front diff and all associated shafts
