drive shaft ID and help

I have this drive shaft that was supposed to be from a mustang with a t5, i dont know the year. My problem is that the sleeve looking thing on the end in too large hits the floorboard. How can i remove it? It has two dimples in it that i drilled out but i still cant get it off, it has a rubber dampner inbetween the outer and inner pieces.

 

Looks like you can remove the clips and change yokes ...

 

A good machine shop can re-do yours or make you a new one...d32

 

just take the clips off the u joint and get the rite yoke

 

i know i can change the yoke but im unemployed right now and this is all i need to finnish the car.

 

take a hammer and knock the balancer off....pull the rubber off.....99 out of 100 that you wont get a vibberation,,we do it on the older fords all the time

 

Well ive been smackin it with a hammer for a while but ill have at it again.

 

Take the yoke off and press it off ...maybe? Just an idea. Good luck.

 

If you can't get it off... take it to any local drive shaft shop, they can pop it off in a few minutes and probably only charge 5-10 bucks. If they do it for no charge, swing back with a 6-pack before the shop closes tonight.

I know you're unemployed (which absolutely ****s)... but doing what you're doing isn't getting you what you need.

 

Cut two slits in it 180 apart then wedge the slits apart & that will start to tear the rubber away & then pry the two halves off tearing away the rest of the rubber.

 

That sounds good ill try that before some trkey tommorow to work up an appe***e.
