Okay I need to remove the driveshaft clamping sleeve that allows you to disconnect the front from the back. I bought an adjustable up to 38mm big arse wrench today, and it is still not big enough. What the heck size is that thing? 40mm? 42mm? I guess I will buy a wrench just to get that off.

Oh, no.
Some are 42 and some are 46mm don't tighten it until the drive line is fully installed and don't just slam it as far as it goes (about 35lbs torque max).
And do you know about pre-loading the center support?Last edited by Liam; 05-03-2009, 08:01 PM.I'm Not Right in the Head | Random Rants and other Nonsense1st Order Logic Failure: Association fallacy, this type of fallacy can be expressed as (∃x ∈ S : φ(x)) → (∀x ∈ S : φ(x)), meaning "if there exists any x in the set S so that a property φ is true for x, then for all x in S the property φ must be true".Comment

I guess I will go get a big set of vice grips and go with that.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
