Very well done.
40+ years ago U-Joints would not be such an issue. But as we keep adding horses and tires keep getting wider & stickier, something has to give.

I pulled my driveshaft and took it, along with Spicer Solids to a shop to press them in for me.
Someday will do the other four.

Thanks for posting this! Rebuilding my 80's half-shafts was something I let Bairs do for me. They charged me a bit extra for insisting on solid Spicer 1350s, but it was worth it if this is what they had to do.

I could'a / should'a have done mine when i just did my trailing arms over the last 2 mths...

then it would have been only 16ish more bolts to take the diff out for the rebuild n swap....

the choices were endless......

will make the jig as i discussed in my other post on here before i start

page booked marked for future reference.
