Well I welded my auto hubs today and thats about it. test them next week as I will be up at my dads.

Looking good coxy. Loving the colour

Installed fishing rod holder on the surf roof rack. $100 and about 2 hours work.

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

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

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
