Driveshaft oil flinger (stoneguard)

[molten]

Hello
I dont know whether to renew both flingers (http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-128469)on driveshafts or re-use old ones.
I know that these simply slide over d/shaft to specific distance from end of thread and hold in place turning with d/shaft rotating around the trunnions inboard seal.
Can they be re-used though without problems.

Thanks

Yes, absoloutley unless they are rusted through

often a loose fit once removed, you can reducew the dia by giving a nice fitting socket a whack or when all is assembled sick it in place with some firm silicon sealer
it is only  a sh1t shield  to keep crud from the trunnion end seal      Pete

Hello
I had thought about putting a couple of small welding tacks on each - tack could simply be knocked off if/when necessary. Bad idea???
Polyurathane sealant could be a good idea though.
Thanks for your comments fella's

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES TOUCH THE HALFSHAFT WITH A WELDER !
If you do'nt beleive me ask Paudman on this forum. He had a shaft snap (which also colapses the suspension) on his late Mk 3 Gt6 the shaft snaped just at the tack welds obviously the welding had made the shaft brittle at that point.
Do not do it.

Whoah. Good job I put the thought out there.
Thanks Gt6s. Tbh, I was thinking more of securing with polyurathane adhesive. T hink I will defo go that route now.
