So today was a day of carnage out at Azusa (as it always is).
The damage: Broken tailshaft cone on my transfer, no reall bad damage (or doesnt seem like it so far) but the cone cracked, so then the driveshaft wobbled out .
How it happened: Probably years of hard running with the stock slip yoke, i guess it was just time to go.
The Knights in Shining armor: As usual, the entire NAXJA people were quick to offer up help! The tailshaft broke, and minutes later, skwerly was offering up tools, Andy was looking for help, Cal was there laughing for moral support, Craigy was providing moral support as well (he was my co dawg for the day), Grimmy was taking pictures, just same as usual, everyone immediatly willing to help.
What we did: A super special thanks to SoCalBill, quick to offer his AAA, Andy and Skwerly, quick to offer up helping change out the ujoint (when we initially thought it was just a u-joint) And Jim and His girl Dawn, for the hookup with the AAA. Got me towed home all safe and sound.
If I am forgetting anyone, my apologies, but thanks again to everyone!! Now, need to find a new tailshaft.....and shower!!
Pics will come later, I know Grimm and CrazyJim have some of the carnage!!
NAXJA rocks!!!:guitar:
