    Took it apart tonight. The Detroit is fine, the shaft broke off inside of it, right at the end of the splines. I wasn't thinking today, and I didn't get the seal or race, so I am going to have to wait to get them. I also didnt have the right socket for the spindle nut, so I am going to wait for Chet to get his back tomorrow afternoon, so I can get the new u joint put in the front

    My phone is being really gay and isn't letting me upload any pics.

    just assuming, since there werent any pieces of metal anywhere, and it looked fine inside of it. the shaft was broken after the splines, I dont think anything could be messed up, but am not sure. How would i go about checking it?

    Rear is back together, and the detroit passed the burnout test

    No one in this town has the correct spindle nut socket, so I am going to have to order one. Will probably have to wait to do the u joint until after I get back from next week. I am pretty pumped that the ears are still good. I only spit one cap, and there is no distortion anywhere.

    All around I got extremely lucky with this carnage

    1. Well, i dont have to replace front shafts, just u joints. so that is pretty awesome

    2. I just had to buy bearings and a seal for the rear, as Fred and Jimmy gave me a shaft. pretty lucky

    3. And my detroit isn't broken, so I dont have to worry about that. Which is lucky.

    I don't know why that socket is impossible to find. Its the same one used on a CJ, Toyota, Land Rover, and Scout. I had to mail order mine too and keep a spare in the glove box because its impossible to find in stock even in DFW.
