Drive shaft removal
Hi Gents-
I'm having trouble removing the pin in the drive shaft where it connects with the banjo assembly. This is a '48 Ford with the torque tube. Are these tough to remove? Thanks, R Sullivan |

Re: Drive shaft removal
Not usually all that difficult to remove unless the pin has wear steps caused by excessive spline movement. I just, maybe 10 min. ago, removed one on a '35-'36 tubular driveshaft and 10 spline pinion. Working on the end of the pin that had been peened, I determined the approximate center of pin and did a small center punch mark. Started drilling a hole ~ 3/32" dia. X ~ 1/8" deep. Then went to a ~ 5/32" drill bit and made the hole wider to the 1/8" depth. Keeping these holes on center of pin is critical. Then went to a punch that fit loosely in that hole, and using a medium weight hammer, I drove the pin out with a couple good wacks.
