Love it. Low cost, no odour (butyl ultimate product) and sticks like rumours to Trump’s administration.

Thanks. I have been looking online but the reviews are all over the place. Evidently if you mess up and use the wrong product you end up with a sticky gooey mess  :blink:

Clean enough to eat off. Looks great.

Did you remember to mark the parts so you get them back together the same way?    ;)

Why yes I did! A chorus of forum voices echoed through my head as I prepped the piece... "did you mark the mating ends?",  "did you mark each end separately for tranny and diff?" ... LOL

I also removed a whack of undercoating over-spray from the shaft. That must have been an issue with balance, so much of it on one side versus the other... yeesh.

I looked at my 240Z prop shafts and that divot that Nissan took off of the yoke ears in interesting.  I'll bet they used it to expose the cups so that they could clamp them down while staking.

If you want some insurance for the clips, you could use one of the billion grades of gap-filling Loctite.  Designed to lock bearing races down, which is what the cup is.  Spendy but might be worth peace of mind.  It could lock the clips on too, so they don't rotate and pop off.  They have too many to know which might be best.
