Where can I find the length of a drive shaft?
I figured this would be a good place to post lengths of drive shafts to create a database to make locating a drive shaft easier and hopefully help people avoid having to pay to have one built. please add to the list if you have a confirmed application and length. If you have u-joint sizes that’s a bonus. :tup:
What kind of drive shaft do I need for 231?
Makes a big difference for guys not running a 231 or 241 with a stock rear yoke. And then for joint type specify double cardan, u joint, or CV; just makes it 10x easier to eyeball the list when you know what you are looking for. But I will add to the mix. all use the 1310 series unjoint.
When to remove the front drive shaft on a Chevy truck?
Removing the front drive shaft on your Chevy truck may be necessary if you need to repair the U-joints or if it is blocking access to another component that you may be working on. The drive shaft connects to the transfer case at one end and the front pinion yoke on the other.
How do you remove a drive shaft from a mower?
Pull straight back on the drive shaft, releasing the two U-joint caps from the yoke. Move to the transfer case end of the drive shaft. Locate the four retaining bolts, remove them with a wrench and pull the shaft off the transfer case. You may need to rotate the drive shaft to get to all the bolts.
How is the drive shaft attached to the transfer case?
The drive shaft connects to the transfer case at one end and the front pinion yoke on the other. On some early models, the drive shaft had a flange that bolted to the transfer case but in later model years, the flange became a yoke similar to the one on the axle housing. Raise the front of your Chevy with a jack.
How do you mark a front drive shaft?
Using a paint pen, place a mark on the drive shaft and one on the yoke to ensure you place the shaft back in the same position when reinstalling it. The drive shaft is balanced and if it installed in a different orientation, it may wobble or vibrate, damaging the shaft, U-joints, axle and transfer case. Mark both ends of the shaft.
