Ok here it is I am throwing the driveshaft in and me and my buddy cant get it through the seal..Its a big rubber seal there with what looks to be splines....what the hells up anybody else have this prob?

 

[chaos254]

did you change the yolk to a 31spline?

 

[Yobi1Kanobi]

yep 31 spline is in. It just seems like the seal is just giving me a really hard time. I think I even **** that seal up too....

If you're talking about what I'm thinking you're talking about, then its just a rubber donut that they put into there to seal it during shipping. If I remember, the directions said that you can either just push it in when installing the output shaft, or you can try to pull it out.

Yes thats exactly what it looks like. it has the imprint of the shaft,

That's it, I always end up pulling them out, I fought the first once for over an hour and could not get it pushed far enough in....pull it and lube the yoke it it will slide right in.

I also pulled mine out and the d/s went right in. I tried to push the piece in as well but it didn't work for me either.

Just be careful to not tear/rip the rear seal.

i really hope i didnt screw it up but im going to tak it out....what a stupid thing they should put like a ;abel on it,

When I did a tko600 in my 95 I just took it out. DS went in no problem.
