Drive shaft replacement
Hey guys, I’ve been running a Pfadt carbon drive shaft for about 10yrs finally let go this early fall, what would I need to rebuild the torque tube back with a stock drive shaft other than bolts and rubber connectors?

Bolts
remove the studs from the input and outputs ends of your driveshaft
New driveshaft
Couplers if you're not going with a new driveshaft that deletes the couplers

I'd recommend replacing the bearings while you're in there. They're relatively cheap. Even if they seem good now it's probably worth replacing them, especially following a driveshaft failure. If you don't replace them while you have the torque tube out you know Mr Murphy will creep up on you and one of the bearings will start howling the first time you drive it after putting it all back together.
