Installing a TRS?
When I installed the outdrive the first time I pinched the oil seal so I had to replace that and now , Im reinstalling my TRS the first time i did I didnt seem to have much problems but this time it seems to be tricky.. I was also doing it in the dark which also could have something to do with it. But I have 2guys lift and one spin propshaft to try and line up the input shaft. When we do this I try to go in straight as possible to not bind up the ujoint. Any other tips or suggestions.

But i use a engine hoist and do it myself,,,,its easyer then 2 guys holding it up,,,since they never get it perfectly straight .LOL
I also use a long screw driver to hold the u joint straight ,then use my shoulder to push it in and use my left hand to turn the PS a litle. works every time ,,some times 1 min. some times 10 min .with an agrivation pause .HEHE

I have also been told you can wrap the u-joint up with a few turns of yellow masking tape to keep it straight...it will tear first time you trim the drive...ive never done it though.

If it keeps fighting u, try wedging a long screwdriver behing the bellhousing the drive bolts to in order to hold it up a little. could not for the life of me get the drive to slide in. Did the screwdriver trick and slid right in!
