New boots and seals for the cv's. Cut and sleeved the shaft to shorten it.

Will not say it is great till a few hundred hours. Seems smoother even with
the single coiled pin style shaft for the hydro pump. Would prefer to have used the spline shaft for the trans end.

Still working on removing the four tight bolts in the axle flange's to install the axle braces

When you get a chance could you post some pics of what you did to shorten the shaft?
