tonite i spent some time on the short inner axle shaft. the old u-joint did'nt wanna budge after almost 30 years of corrosion so i ended up heating it up with a torch and then banging it out. one cap still had good grease in it, theother 3 were bone dry and pretty chewed up.
i also installed the new u-joint in the 35 spline outer but did'nt have time to put the inner on as well; gotta blast the rust and crap off first. i love how beefy this stuff is and how well it goes together.
i finally found a set of hub flanges on the pirate board and they showed up today. gotta send em off tomorrow to be resplined for the 35 outers. pretty good day for a monday.
