One that fits in this shaft? Thanks

Did you try your locally owned parts store? Mine (CarQuest) can get it for you if they don't have it in stock.

I have an O'Reilly auto and a AutoZone, they looked at me cross-eyed when I asked for it. I'll see if I can find it at carquest.

That there be one of them slip yokes them lowered truck guys be talkin 'bout. It don't need no bolt, it slips!

superhondaz50 · 01-09-2018, 07:17 PM

Haha pretty sure it needs a bolt

Rufas · 01-09-2018, 08:36 PM

What does the bolt secure?

wpavlis · 01-09-2018, 09:33 PM

Maybe a driveshaft shop would have one?

So the carrier gets pressed on the shaft, then a yoke goes on, the the bolt and washer to hold on the yoke.

Nope. That's the join between the front and rear drive shafts where the carrier bearing lives, and needs a bolt. It does not slip, unless you are really unlucky. I don't remember the size, but you can try both 3/8-24 and 7/16-20 (fine thread). One of them should work. Then just get a thick fender washer. Or go to the local pick your part yard and get the "exact" replacement.

Perfect, I'll order both.

Had the magic idea to use my tap set to find the right size. It is 1/2x20. I chased the rusty threads and it went right down. Also found the hole is drilled a little wonky. Washer is 1.5" wide.

**Steeveedee** · 01-10-2018, 01:28 PM

1/2". huh, guess I haven't looked at one in a while.

Yup, granted it is possible someone enlarged it from 7/16 to 1/2 at some point in the past 50yrs, could explain the wonky hole.
