Hello,
Following what I've read in the very useful Comprehensive Guide to the Gelande II I replaced the weak stock shafts in my Gelande II D90 with Junfac's 82-117mm hardened universal shafts (item j90031).
However, upon assembly I noticed that the new universal shaft does not fit the shaft coming out of the differentials as the hole in the universal drive shaft and the hole in the differentials' shafts cannot be aligned. This prevents inserting a drive shaft pin and consequently the two shaft cannot be locked together.
Now I wonder whether inserting that pin is a must or perhaps I can just settle for tightening the two tiny screws that come with the universal shaft such that they will apply constant pressure on the shaft coming out of the differential. This way I won't have the two shaft mechanically locked together, of course, but perhaps this is not necessary.
Has anyone else come across this issue? I'd appreciate some advice.
Thanks.
