dblenk Posted December 14, 2023 Report Share Posted December 14, 2023 (edited) Just a little question new hubs new UJs and new drive shafts the ones with the retaining nut QUESTION the open gaiter fits and protects the flange however the internal gaiter which spans the shaft when sliding i remember the old type flange no retaining nut everything slides on job done The gaiter has a large hole annd a smaller hole, large hole fits on the inner part and the smaller hole fits over the splines but NOT over the nut Was it designed to go over the nut and i just need to keep trying to fit it or am i trying to fit something thats not intended thanks in advance David Edited December 14, 2023 by dblenk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DRD Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 It was quite tricky but I think eventually I just stretched it over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 How it looks to me. Never done one but seen this type of shaft on propshafts and TR4A early model drive shafts. Undo nut. Extract seal from inside nut. Slide nut off spline Fit gaiter onto male spline part shoulder. Re Fit nut Re Fit seal inside nut Screw nut to female spline part. Fit gaiter over nut and onto female spline shoulder. Secure gaiter both ends with appropriate fixings. Or just leave off as the screw part should contain a seal that will keep the grease in and road dirt out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
