Syncro Prop Shaft removal refurbishment and refitting

Harry man Propshaft bolts from Syncro-Nutz or SyncrosparesUK or VW Commercial Parts counter

Use the correct ones, they are listed in the Wiki (hopefully), bolts about £1 each, locknuts (STOVER) fine thread New is best because if prop is on/off/on/off a lot then they will stand some rounding off (access can be a bit angled and awkward at times)

2 weeks ago the ScoobyVelle developed a vibration that would collapse a house. Captain Know Everything from Huddersfield immediately said it was the prop (and that was at 45 miles distance) and advised dropping the prop - Aiden also pitched in with brilliant help and advice - thanks. Off came the prop and it all went very quiet, calm and economical - the handling however, all turned to worms and the van became very skittish especially on wet roads and leaves whereas previously it had only ever faltered on a huge diesel slick on the A57. Eventually I manage to get the prop into GKN yesterday morning at about 0930. They said they would get fixed or build a new one, whichever was the best/most economical route. Called this morning at 10 am to be told - it's ready - refurbed with new joints, rubber doughnut ok as is all else - has been tested and rebalanced all for the princely sum of £54. Subject to testing on the van I think that is one hell of a service - so thanks GKN!
