As easy as it gets.just unbolt and put a new one on.Always a good idea to put new nyloc nuts on it.Also there are arrows on the roto that tell you what way the bolt's go.

except if the pilot bushing in the end of the shaft is bad it will just tear up the next one as well so the pilot bushing should be changed as well if the truck has been lifted at all.
Thanks Guys,
Kyle, I actually bought the entire Land Rover Genuine Rubber Coupling kit, but thanks. What part of Fort Worth do you live. I see a trail-ready rig near TCU east side.

take a cold chisel and cut a relief cut in the pilot bearing from the outer edge to the bottom of the bushing.
flip the shaft over and tap the flage on the bench and the bushing will fall right out.
I did the one on my wifes RRC last night and it took me maybe 10 min to change the bushing.
Kyle,
If that bushing is up for grabs, I'll take it and pay shipping to San Antone.. I've got some vibration that is coming for that stupid thing.

Just so you know...A ROTO FLEX IS NOT HD:smilelol:
Call Tom Wood and make the jump to a real HD shaft for you it makes sense.

right east of TCU... there are about 5 D2's within a mile of me that are trail ready.
Mines white, has a SD and hella 4k's, silver steelies and dents in all the doors (unlike the others)
I was saying that I have a good shaft. the roto is good, has some cracks if i recall, but it never went out and never vibrated. I finally got around to putting on the RRC shaft at 175k. it has been lifted for over 50k miles.... I guess I never hit it on a rock or somehting cause it lasted so long. I have never taken one apart to see the bushing that you guys are referring to. when I get home ill pull the roto off and look and see whats under it.
