ya but the shaft you have could be broken and the remaining inch be stuck in the carrier. You would be surprised how cleanly the splined portion of a shaft can break off like that.Quote:

then maybe you don't have a 79 axle under it? any applications that someone knows about that would be an inch shorter?
The inner axle seals are apparently different between truck and bronco housings of the same vintage so maybe the shafts are a c*nt hair different too.
They shouldn't be different, the only thing I can think of would be that the shaft is from a 76 or 77 model that had welded on wedges not cast. Call Clayton and ask to just go look at the set he has. I know for a fact that they came from a bronco78-79 Dana 44 because I pulled them myself.
Karl, you bringing the mini bike?
I do not own a mini bike, I own a Honda XL100R. I will not be bringing this.Quote:
