"If it's not together yet" Too funny! I have already had the darn thing together and apart 5 times already. I'm sure one more time will not hurt. Haha...
Here is what has happened so far after installing the universal joint...
1. Realized I forgot to put the collar which bolts onto the transmission onto the axel. Removed universal, put the collar on, reinstalled universal.
3. Realized that I did not replace the gasket and seal in the collar as well as the universal cover rear cap. Removed universal, replaced gasket and seal, reinstalled universal.
4. Realized that I did not put collar gasket for between universal cover and transmission in. Removed universal, put in gasket, reinstalled universal.
5. In attempting to actually bolt universal cover collar to transmission realived that there is no way to get the collar past the transmission rear mount crossmember. Face turned red, temperature spiked, said a lot of words that I will not retype here very loudly, Threw my wrench at the wall, washed up and went inside.
6. After a couple of days of cooling down, created this post to try to avoid removing the universal anymore than 1 more time.
