So, I dropped my driveshaft when I did my subframe/cradle work. I couldn't get it apart/didn't have time to split the shafts. Plus there was a 125$ reinforced driveshaft with serviceable joints on Louisville Craigslist. So my plan was to save the csb/guibo, but its gone.
Question 1. To split the driveshaft, I just remove 19mm bolt near the csb in the knuckle then its free??? Do I rotate it apart or just pull apart? Sorry I have to ask. haha. Better ask than ruin. Local shop said it would be 35 to 50 if I brought the whole thing in.. Made it sound like he had to un-friction weld them... With some separater?
Question 2. I understand that the CSB is to be pressed towards the engine but the actual bearing that is held by rubber inside the mounting metal, appears to be concave or convex? So which way does it get installed? Can it be backwards? I assume with the bearing should face the trans so when I push it becomes more level, as in level with the metal holding the bearing? Or is it reverse to create tension? Its a febi model.
Question 3. Can I remove the guibo/driveshaft vibration damper?
I'm hoping for solid answers tonight so I can do this tomorrow. Thanks guys! I have read the pelican article on e36 but it looks like a large bolt that circles around the shaft that looks like a pipe wrench would work on? I do not think its the same as ours?
