after my driveshaft destroyed itself,i discovered a way of re,building it.......
first of all the drive pins are made of soft steel so you can knock them out with a hammer.i found an old allen key just a bit larger than the hole (you can also use a bolt or piece of steel bar),i tapered one end a little (about an inch) with a benchgrinder till it fitted in the hole,then holding the shaft in a vice or similar,tap the key in with a hammer till it fits tightly and then cut off the excess with a hacksaw or grinder!!ive done this twice to my driveshafts and they have lasted a lot longer than the originals!! save money,recycle and save time goin to the shop for parts all the time!!:cool2:
