    Hey Jerry,
    Great tips! How'd you get the driveshaft out? Did you use a puller?

    Trying the picture thing again...

      Hey Jerry,

      What's the deal with this site?

      www.elbarfo.com

      Is it associated with XS11.com?

        Elbarfo.com is not associated as far as I know. It is a place to put photos of all kinds, and you can then link to the photos as you have done. I use Mac.com to host my photos and web pages, another popular place is PhotoBucket.com. A few people are trying Picassa.com; like Mac.com the site allows creation of photo albums with different display options. Mac.com is not free, the others are, I think.

        As to removing the drive shaft...it came right out with just a tug of the hand. No puller needed.

          It ( www.elbarfo.com ) is definitely more than a photo dump site. Many of the same user names are in the forum as this site. Some of the posts are identical!! It's almost a mirror site. Strange...

          Thanks for the drive shaft tip. The manual says you need a puller and a slide hammer so I just left it in and greased the rear splines. I'll go ahead and pull it to grease the front too. You da' man!

            Got my answer from the elbarfo administrator...


            "You will find little searching here. Im wondering how people are finding this site rather than the real forums. This is a development site for the real site..." [XS11.com]

            Mystery solved. You can post photos there though... I guess.
