Robbie, This is exactly what I did for the driver side. My bigger =
problem is that on the longer passenger shaft, it was hanging down a bit =
too far when I replaced the oil pan gasket. Now the oil pan is back in =
place with the pass. side drive shaft hanging slightly forward of the =
pan. =20
DOH !
hehe I can be pretty stupid sometimes. So after looking at the Bentley =
again and Allyn's suggestion, I will pull ht e "clamp bolt" from the =
pass side control arm ball joint and swing the wheel out, lift up the =
shaft and swing it back.
That is what you mean right Allyn?
Thanks again

Subject: Re: Drive shaft install
your motor mounts may be misaligned, is it only one shaft giving you =
trouble? On all my roccos, all of which have 90mm shafts(not sure if =
that makes it easier to install or not), there hasn't been any trouble =
getting them in. Sometimes on the drivers side shaft, I have to =
remove/adjust part of the shift linkage, swing the axle towards the =
firewall and up above the flange, apply pressure towards the hub, and =
push it down into the flange. Hope that makes sense!=20

I really dont remember this much trouble getting the tranny end of =
the drive
shaft back on the flange. Both drive shafts have remained connected =
at the
wheel end during this engine swap. I cant believe that I actually =
have to
take the wheel off of the controll arm and swing it away to get that =
last
1/4 to 1/2 inch That I need to clear the center of the inner CV =
joint past
the edge of the drive flange. Is there an easier trick to this? I am
moving the shaft all around trying to find a "way in". If the =
standard
procedure is that you shouldn't have to then I will continue my =
efforts.
Bently doesn't say you should have to..unless its an automatic.
Guess I'll keep at it.
Thanks
