Don't know if there's one up north.
Don't reuse the old bolts/nuts.
Get new ones, and use self locking nuts.

Yes that's one of them. You can replace the 4 nuts and bolts on the axle side but you can only replace the nuts on the T-case side as the flange is attached in such a way where you can't get the bolts out without removing it (30mm nut I think and like90 ft pounds) but it's not necessary. Just get new nuts that lock (nylock or something)

Looks like it has been done. Drop it and see if the centering ball is greasable, that's the part that matters.

Default question

Ok I see the grease nipples on it, but what about the centering ball, will there be a nipple from it ? do you need to remove the prop shaft to grease the centering ball? ty

I read that, that's why I asked. If you need to oil the shaft every oil change, which is easy to get to, it just seems unlikely that all disco 2 owners drop the shaft every 5000 to oil the ball. Oh and the smiley was not intended to mean anything, my daughter asked me to ad it.

They don't, that's why they end up needing to replace the transmission after it breaks and busts a hole in the transmission.

I just do smiley faces on most of my comments
