Yes, to all. Since you seem to be new to this, consider taking a close up picture of the drive shaft splines that stick out through the bulkhead-before you wipe it off- and post it here.
Will do thanks, now off to find those parts
Oh sorry one last question, do you know if it’s possible to get the mid shaft assembaly out with just moving the engine forward a few inches or does the engine need to come out?
My new coupler came in so I removed the midshaft and when I went to put the new coupler on it is to big (large of a diameter to screw onto the shaft). The midshaft housing says 63M on it and from what I can tell after looking online that is out of a wave raider or wave venture. So I am assuming I need to find a coupler out of one of those. If you have any info that might help or if I'm wrong let me know,
Here's a picture of the housing and a pic of the splines that you recommended posting here before I grease them.
Oops I just read through the rest of these posts and saw that you said earlier the old sn couplers had a smaller thread diameter. That must be what the problem is, I think I'll just try to plug that hole somehow rather than buying an entire assembly.
The splines look fine- even perfect! Mid shaft is not an old small dia. one as mentioned earlier but a late model aftermarket- don't know what kind of coupler you acquired that wont fit.- could you take pics of both the engine coupler half as well as the new coupler?
yes I’ll get those pics, how can you tell it’s the larger diameter?
OP = Original Post(er) - referring to your original post.
