Title: Tail shaft yoke
Post by: KFH on November 29, 2009, 08:17:52 PM
I have been cleaning up the tail shaft and universals.  On the short section that couples the gear box to the front universal I notices a small grove where the rear seal runs.  Can you buy a sleeve that will go over the shaft?  There is a new seal in the output of the gear box but I feel a small amount of oil will leak out if I do not sleeve the shaft.

Yep  - a very thin stainless sleeve which is installed over the top of the original.
