Hi Joe. I believe that's the one. There is a screw cap on the front
end of the shaft, where the splines I mentioned are. I've got the shaft
about half way into the .... socket? Female connector? on the
transmission. This sits right under the driver, but in the center of the
vehicle. This shaft is about 3.5 to 4 feet long, has four bolts at the
rear end and the shaft with splines around it and a screw cap on it at the
front to hold the shaft in the female receptor.
I'm concerned because the truck is on a slight incline, there are no
brakes, and ( I'd forgotten ) the emergency brake grabs the prop shaft to
operate. With computers if you force a connection you usually end up
buying those parts.. ( but not always <g> ) so I'd like to find out if
trying to tap the shaft once half way in is a good way to screw up my drive
train, or if I should just start tapping.
Thanks for the help.
