Drive Shaft Removal
I have taken the propshaft, rear diff and half shafts off of my trekka,
I have driven about 6000 miles on this arrangement, I have loaded
the car up, and towed a 1.5 tonne trailer, and I havn't died in a ball
of flames. . . . .yet. (-:
The traction control still works on the front wheels, until the power is
transferred via the viscous couple to the rear prop ( which isn't there)
then you are in the safe situation as someone in a normal car.
HOW TO
I won't go in to huge detail but basically you remove the propshaft and
rear diff which will leave you with two floppy half shafts coming out of
the rear wheels, so you remove theses shafts and then taking an angle
grinder (gulp) you chop the wheel end off, and use it to resucure the
back wheel to the car.
The diagram below shows how to make the cut. Work safe, use new
driveshaft nuts.
