Well, I drove Henry from Jacksonville to Tallahassee and back today to take my Mom to pickup a 1999 Subaru Legacy Outback she found on Craigslist. The car turned out to be a jewel and runs like a top. Unfortunately, (or actually fortunately) as soon as I got back into town and off of I-10, Henry decides that he no longer needs that mid-point bearing on the drive shaft- boy was HE wrong!
BU-DU-DU-DU-DU-DU! AAHHH! *** is THAT?!? I whip into a HESS station that fortunately was right there, and I was only going about 25mph when it let go, so between the low speed and immediate availability of a place to stop I was again fortunate. Long story short, Henry is towed home ($80) and I have to fix him. I have replaced 20' long propeller shafts on commercial fishing boats, I have built wind turbines with close tolerance shafts and industrial grade bearings, and I have built giant lathes for spinning 5' diameter chunks of polyurethane foam to make fiberglass molds from... BUT- I have never even looked very closely at the drive shaft(s) of a truck before. I need HELP! Please tell me the tips and tricks to do this thing. I have to have it finished by tomorrow (Sunday) night because I need to go to work Monday morning
