Help done a stupid thing!

Drive it and see ... AFAIK the only reason to mark things before taking them apart is to ensure correct balance when re-assembled. If it vibrates like a V8 powered vibrating mad thing then it's not right ... try again :-)

Happy days!

Assemble it with the two yokes (that's the bits that hold the U-joint) on the shaft and on the short splined bit in the same plane as each other.

And if it vibrates at speed, rotate it 180 degrees at the splines. ;)
