The shaft itself rarely needs to be replaced, but it is often cheaper to replace than repair.

The only thing that `requires`replacement of the shaft is if the shaft itself is bent or damaged.

Joints, slip yokes and such can be changed.

How do you change the propeller shaft on your champ RC aircraft?

Before you change out the shaft of your champ, you are going to want to have a exacto knife, needle nose pliers, a new prop shaft with or without the gear attached, and a new prop. First cut the tap holding the fuselage to the wings, then gently hold the clear end piece with the pliers toward the center of the motor, and turn the shaft clockwise while holding that. The shaft should be disconnected from the motor, but trapped by styrofoam. So, take your exacto knife and make a big enough gap for the shaft and gear to get out. Then take your new prop-shaft and gear, and if the gear came on the shaft just pull it off, and put super glue where the gear was (On the straight threads under a little nub on the propeller) and slide the gear on. Let Dry. Then thread your new propeller, flat part of threads toward the gear. then take your completed shaft and place it back into the motor. Take your new or old end cap and twist it back on the end of the shaft. Re-tap the fuselage and you are ready to go!

How do you change a clutch on a 2.5 v6?

Remove the drive/prop shaft(s) from the gear box, remove the gearbox. Take the clutch and mechanism out and replace with the new one, you will have to use a clutch alignment tool to make sure that the centre hole on the clutch lines up with the crank shaft. Then put the gearbox back on along with the drives/prop-shafts. To be honest seeing as you had to ask the question, I recommend you don't attempt it yourself.

How do you fix the front drive shaft on your 1996 Chevrolet Silverado?

Assuming you need new U-joints on the shaft I will try to explain... First remove the bearing retaining u bolts from front differential and the tranny. Be careful while separating the shaft from parts( you may have to use a pry bar) that the bearings do not fall out of the cups. There are snap rings on one side of the U joint, remove those with a pair of needle nose pliers and then prop the shaft on a 2x4 or something and pound out the old ujoint with a ball peen hammer and a socket so you do not bend the shaft where the ujoint is in. Once you have it loose wiggle it out and reinstall the new ujoint but do NOT pound it in with the hammer you'll end up damaging the new bearings, repeat with other side if needed. Hope this makes sense and helps you out.
