Fitting front propshaft

gazweaver · Jan 5, 2010

Morning all,
I need to fit a new front propshaft to my '86 landy 90 county - people are telling me it's a piece of **** and it just bolts straight on. Although i'm a useless novice I know that nothing is ever that simple with these things - or is it!!!???? any basic instructions...

It does just bolt on. You will need an opened end 7/16th spanner and a ring spanner of the same size.

You will need to turn the prop to get a spanner on all the bolts. Easy way is to chock the wheels and lift one of the front wheels. The turn this to turn the prop. Put the wheel back on the ground to undo the bolts and so on.

Also watch out they are heavy. Friend on mine chipped a tooth when one dropped on him.

Dont forget to put the slip joint at the transfer box end.

I can find my spanners easier than I can find the right key to press

Also dont forget that the yokes should be offset by about 45 degrees on the front prop.
