cut it use jb weld to put back together in half
There is a pressure clip on the end of the shaft. I used a side cutters to cut the clip. When you put it back together you will need to put a new clip on. I bought one at the local hardware.
yes indefinetly.
Take the soft cover off, the drive shaft out and put the seal back in. Then install the fix kit from kubota. Its a common problem.
The easiest way to do it is remove the transmission and flywheel, Pry old seal out and off of the crank shaft. Then drive the new seal in, and put it all back together.
Remove the 4 nuts that hold down the U-Joints to the differential. Remove the 2 bolts that hold the center drive shaft carrier bearing to the frame. Put a pan or some kind of container under the tail of the transmission to catch any of the oil that drips. Then pull the drive shaft out of the transmission. If you decide to replace the u-joints, I strongly recommend that you take the drive shaft to a reputable u-joint specialist and have all 3 u-joints replaced and the carrier bearing all replaced and have the drive shaft balanced. Then put it all back together in reverse order. When removing the u-joints, make sure the transmission is in neutral and the parking brake is set and/or the wheels are blocked.
Put the vehicle into 4WD? It should move on the basis of the traction of the front wheels. The rear wheels should simply free-wheel. Am I wrong?
if you have removed rear drive shaft and the front wheels will be on tow dolly then there is no sense in it.
This should help. I have this same motorcycle and the basic instructions below are correct. One side-note is that to get the wheel past the caliper, it can help to deflate the tire to make it narrower. Instructions below found at: http://motorcycle.justanswer.com/questions/1ayag-remove-rear-wheel ************* In addition to the obvious of elevating the back of the motorcycle to get the weight off the rear tire, you need to unbolt the final drive from the swing arm and remove the final drive and rear wheel as an assembly. The drive shaft will come out with the final drive, not a problem. Once you get the assembly off the bike, you can remove the axle then separate the final drive from the rear wheel and do what you needed to do. When you go to re-install the drive shaft, you have to align the splines. Sometimes it is easier to put the bike in gear so the female splines on the intermediate shaft don't turn as you rotate the rear wheel to insert the drive shaft. When you go to put it back together, just tighten the bolts that hold the final drive to the swing arm evenly in a crossing pattern until tight. As an aside note, while you have it off, make sure you grease the splines on the end of the drive shaft and the splines for the rear wheel before putting it back together.

Chock the wheels to be sure vehicle will not roll. Mark the differential and drive shaft before removing drive shaft. Remove 4 bolts from differential-end of drive shaft. Place a pan under the transmission-end of drive shaft and have clean rags handy. Push the drive shaft slightly toward the front of the vehicle while pulling downward on the drive shaft and lower it to the ground. Pull the drive shaft toward the rear of the vehicle until the front of the drive shaft pulls out of the transmission. Place the drive shaft on the ground and put rags in the transmission to prevent oil leakage and keep dust/dirt out. Assemply is reverse of removal with special attention to aligning marks on the drive shaft to the mark on the differential.
Could be a broken 1/2 shaft or inner cv joint. Sounds like the transmission is moving the inner part of the 1/2 shaft but the outer is not moving, so when you put vehicle in "Park" you are stopping the inner part of the 1/2 shaft.
