No marijuana jokes please.....

Anyway, my rag joint shaft has seen its better days. I found a solid (edit--meaning a good quality shaft! lol) replacement on eBay and want to swap it in, but before I do I want to consult the thirdgen oracle about it. Can you do it without disconnecting the brake lines? If so, how do I need to maneuver it around? Any tricks to it, or just trial/error/wrench throwing til you get it clear? Remember, I'm talking about the entire shaft, not just the rag joint! From steering box to the bolt near the firewall....

 

Reeeeeeeeefer......couldn't resist

I've read here that people hate them and that it's a bad idea.

 

LOL...yeah I know guys hate rag joints as a rule, but I'm just replacing an old one with a healthy one. I'd have the same questions if I was using a different shaft. I just want to know what's involved in getting it out.

 

I meant they hate the solid version that's on the market lol.

 

Oh no, I meant solid, as in good shape--not solid in the mechanical sense. Sorry....nomenclature always gets me in trouble on this site....lol
