double carden

[brave525]

I cant seem to extend my tail shaft out to connect the rear uni on the TJ.
I just had the tailshaft serviced any ideas?

[flexytj]

assuming its a dc shaft and you have an sye are you saying that the slip joint has seized ?

[ian]

so u have a sye,, and a double carden driveshaft? and it wont extend?

[NT-Boy]

saying that the slip joint has seized ?


How do you unseize it Spambulance?

[brave525]

yes the slip joint wont slip
I asked about it when I picked it up & was told its all been renewed & is a tight fit
but not wanting to get grease on me I didnt over exert to try and move it.
I thought once I bolted it back to the gear box Id be able to pull it out the 25mm it
needs
but it looks like I have to tie it to the shed and the car to pull it out

I would keep a close eye on that shaft if it seizes it will f@#k your pinion bearings and the car will ride like crap

[kitrino_tj]

agree with **********bulance, pull it hard

[NT-Boy]

agree with **********bulance, pull it hard


would there be a need for some type of lubricant?

Should have a grease nipple on the slip shaft.
Some shafts have a threaded ring/cup that covers the end seal and shaft, if they have been done up really hard they are very tight to move.
