Hi all,
I decided to investigate the knocking and grumbling noise to the rear of my 90 today. As well as getting wet I found that I have a worn rear UJ. This isnt the problem, the seized spline however is.
So my rerar prop is about dead at the moment. The front UJ is fine and there is some play in the rear UJ so i'll replace that. But, can anything be done with the seized spline?
When I say seized I mean it neads a lump hammer with some persuasion to extend the spline and equal amounts of force to push back together.
My first thought was a lack of grease, but about 1/4 trigger later and new grease was pouring from the joint???
Any thoughts please? Are the splines servicable (hopefully) or is it new prop time?
Thanks Jon
