Default Prop shaft help
I was taking my car apart to install my new clutch an noticed the pilot bearing was bad and so is the prop shaft. The prop shaft has a nasty groove in it. What is involved in replacing the prop shaft? I see a new one is about $500 but what else is needed? Any friendly instructions?

Guibos...They're the (2) rubber couplers at either ends of the driveshaft.



Not to be confused with Guidos...
