Hi, Thank to everyone who replied to my question about removal of the prop shaft from my Mk3 Spit. The shaft came out easily after removal of the back half of the exhaust system and I had the UJ's replaced and the shaft balanced professionally - wow, what a difference. There was a rumble from the transmission over 60mph that would become unbearable above 70mph but this is now gone completely. I took the opportunity (having access to the underside of the car) to fit a 12" extension pipe to the clutch slave cylinder bleed screw so I can now bleed the clutch from inside the engine compartment, again a very successful operation that has made one of the most annoying jobs on the Spitfire much easier.
I'm now waiting for a clear day to enjoy the new 'rumble free' ride. If anyone in the UK is considering this type of work on their prop shaft then the cost was about #50 for same day service, I can supply the details if you eMail me. Regards, Simon.
