Help with 4x4 front driveshaft - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Can someone tell me how this collar comes off, I need to seperate the slip yoke from the shaft because its out of phase. All the shafts I have done before have had a threaded collar, this one just spins.

It sounds like the threads are stripped out. It should come off If you put a pair of channel locks around the bottom of it and give it a good smack. It might do it?

I dont think this one is threaded, my other shafts are and the collar on them looks different.

Yeap that's the same one that's on the front of my 78, and mine is the same way. It just spins and spins and that's all. I didn't think it was apost to come off...Later Mike

If the driveshaft still has the stock double cardan joint at the t-case, there is no need to worry about phasing. With the double cardan, the position of the yoke at the axle end does not matter since it is not at an angle. The two joints in the double cardan take up all of the angle of the shaft, and they are always in phase.

Thanks Tim, I didnt think of that but it does make sense. I think I'll just leave it alone.
