[QUOTE="FJRBluesman, post: 741255, member: 5903"] Had the tires off for new rubber, so it's also time to lube the splines, etc. This is a first for me. I pulled my drive train off to lube the splines, BTDT no issues before. While re-installing the drive unit, the rear end of the U-joint was lodged into the swing arm and was binding so I had to pull the drive shaft back out. While doing so, the drive shaft pulled from the pumpkin. The oil seal washer and retaining ring were on the drive shaft, oil leaked out, etc. I carefully popped the drive shaft seal assy back in, the spring is also in, it gives some resistance and float when the suspension is working. My question is, did something break or come apart that shouldn't have? I looked in the manual and it doesn't look like any other items keep it in place. BTW - The manual does no justice at all to how it actually looks, the exploded assembly sequence looks totally off compared to how it really is. Any help is appreciated. [/QUOTE]
