45 driveshaft questions

[daniel.watters]

Ok..... I'm outside trying to hook up my driveshafts to my 45s axes... both front and rear shafts are about a half inch short... wtf? The only thing that I can think of is that the axles are drum but a later vintage..... are the 67 vintage axles a half inch longer??? Can I just fab up a spacer? Help!

Pull the grease zerk, make sure your Yolks move in and out and pull.. Watch yer noggin tho.

That did the trick.... thanks.

after that I over tightened the clutch master valve line and broke it into! @$#%! I'm learning a lot but I'm making mistakes along the way.

The old lines were a different thread pitch.. might be best to upgrade to the newer clutch master and slave and new hard and soft lines at the same time.

I broke the banjo bolt that connects the new master to the line that runs to the slave. I think it is an easy fix. A 10mm banjo bolt and a little more patience.
