		This shaft was then welded directly to the frame, after the crank arms and hub were slipped onto it, by a small piece of shaft with an oil impregnated bushing pressed into it to allow for better rotation.
		The purpose of the half shafts and the universal joints (u-joints) is to transmit torque from the roller clutches to the wheels.
		The half shafts connect to the inner shaft of the clutches and to the stub axle on the wheel side with u-joints.

	Half Shaft Modifications (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.tamu.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		To install this Turbo half shaft, you will need to temporarily increase the spread between the differential and the strut by (my method) removing the inner lower arm bushing saddles, thus allowing the strut (and attached lower arm assembly) to swing away from the differential.
		This procedure of spreading the strut away from the differential is needed because even with the shaft fully compressed, there is a convex knob (inside of which holds the spring for the CV joint) on the end of the shaft that fits into the concave companion flange already installed on the axle stub.
		The '84-'89 non-turbo 300ZX half shafts are almost the same as the 280ZX shafts, except that the axle lengths are 15-3/4" long for the right side, and 15-3/8" long for the left side, but the ends of the axles themselves have the same 27 tooth splines.

	DANotes: Stress etc: Power transmission shafts
		Shafts rotating only at constant speed n (rev/s) are considered here, and as shafts are usually statically determinate they may be examined by the techniques of elementary statics.
		The mounting of a half-coupling on a shaft must prevent relative rotation when torque is applied - this is achieved by a positively interlocking element exemplified by a key (or a derivative of this such as a spline) or by friction.
		Shafts are supported in two bearings (sliding or rolling) which allow the shafts to turn freely - there is no appreciable torque exerted by the bearings.

	Extreme Duty Half Shafts for Land Rovers.
		The Salisbury requires its own special drive shaft and is very heavy and expensive to ship.
		The Salisbury is not a perfect axle although many claim it to be, as the pinion nut is prone to backing off, which may go unnoticed, causing the differential to be destroyed.
		Land Rover upgraded the gearbox, differential, drive shafts but for some reason never strengthened the half axles.

		Lay the half shaft down on the lower arm and lower the knuckle.
		Before removing the half shaft, note the clearance between the ABS sensor wheel and the pumpkin case for reference when you put the axles back in.
		All that is retaining the stub shaft in the pumpkin is a Circlip on the axle which fits in a groove in the spider gears in the differential.

	Micro-Controls - Corvette Tools - U-Joint Tool
		A primary concern was to eliminate cosmetic damage to the half shaft and bearing cap support structure and the companion flange.
		The problem with the Corvette U-Joint, and especially the drive shafts and half shafts with the heavy duty U-Joint, is that you cannot press the bearing cap all the way through the yoke.
		Remove the rear half shaft by removing the bolts at the differential mounting flange, and the bolts at the axle mounting flange.

	Hummer's haft shafts and servicing them
		Instead they have 4 small shafts known as "half shafts" that from the differential and Brake rotor to the the geared hubs within the wheel.
		I first thought it was my front shaft because the boot to the outer C/V joint broke open and got a temporary boot cover to fit it until I had the time to go in a repair it correctly.
		From what I hear the half shafts are now built by GKN and starting on 97 1/2 Hummers, they are now 20% stronger then the earlier half shafts and will fit the older Hummers.

	Halfbakery: Counter-Rotating Crankshaft
		Some cars rely on ballance shafts to counteract the irregularities and vibration of the crankshaft.
		So one shaft is spinning in the correct direction and it drives the tire in the correct direction.
		If you wanted to, you could also make it so that exactly half of the engine/drivetrain was spinning one way, and the other half spinning the other way.

	British Northwest Land-Rover Co. Technical Tip
		If you lose a half shaft on a busy urban main road there is the chance that you may suddenly find yourself in dangerous straits, possibly for instance by virtue of not being able to engage front drive quickly enough to drive free of harms way expeditiously.
		Now inspect the inboard splines for twisting, which is characteristic of a half shaft which is about to break.
		If both axles appear to be good, then clamp each one individually in a sturdy bench vise and, after first loosening the castellated nut at the end of the shaft under the hub cap, attempt to rotate the driving member to determine the extent of wear at the outboard splines.

	912 Axle
		Using a 6 mm Allen wrench, remove Allen bolts from half shaft flange, knock the half shaft from its seat and remove.
		Tighten Allen bolts in half shaft flange to prescribed torque: 4.3 mkp (33 lbs/ft); the Schnorr washer for the Allen bolt must face the base plate with the hollow side.
		Also the manual says the flange surface of the half shaft must be free of grease at time of installation - probably impossible to accomplish.

		But if you want to be able to pull your half shafts out without worrying about them falling apart you should probably plan on reattaching the little end plate.
		Bolt the shafts into your car and if you have had problems with your half shafts bottoming out you should enjoy a much smoother ride.
		If you didn't have a problem with you half shafts bottoming out and you did this modification any way you need to look into getting a life.

	Extended Half Shafts/2 piece shafts... - race-dezert.com
		I have yet to come across anyone who has extended the stock shaft of a CV jointed half shaft.
		Some of the higher end cars are using a CV that has no plunge in it and to allow for the distance change those cars run a two piece halfshaft that has a trick slip-yoke arrangement in it.
		The cushion is a metal/rubber unit that is splined to the two short shafts, thus making up a half shaft.

		The half shaft should pop out as the clip goes thru the gear.
		With both half shafts removed, turn the pinion gear and rotate (22.5 deg) until the S spring can be driven in towards the housing with no obstruction to the rear.
		This means that the S spring will be half way between straight out at you and straight up.

		With the car on the ground and the rear wheels blocked use your breaker bar with the correct socket to remove the axle nut.
		I then lowered the inside end of the axle shaft until it cleared the output shaft then just pulled straight back and the end of the shaft slid right out of the hub.
		Now insert the end of the new shaft in the hub and slide it straight in then raise the assembly into place and bolt it back to the output flange, torquing the bolts to 45 foot pounds and then reinstall the axle nut torquing it to 180 foot pounds.

		Once you have added oversize tires, lockers and lower gears, the half shafts are usually the first to break.
		This would allow for easier trail fixes of the half shafts, give me an stronger set up, and if needed make it easier to determine how to accomplish a stronger CV set up.
		NOTE Be careful not to bind the passenger side half shaft, you will need to use a pry bar between the housing and the inner cup to start the half shaft out of the housing.

	DiscoWeb Message Boards - Half shafts for rear Detroit Locker?
		I've heard conflicting reports about how bad this is. Some people say that I'll break my half shafts and this is very bad with a Detroit because for some reason it will break the Detroit locker.
		Other people say I'll break my half shafts but they've never heard of this damaging the locker, and in fact have done it themselves and just replaced their axles and went on their merry way.
		In a lightly loaded Defender you may get by, but when you add a 100lb MT tire/wheel to the hub on top of the overall weight of a disco, the stock shafts are nothing to talk about.

	CV Halfshaft (280ZX Turbo) Conversion for late 260Z/280Z Stub Axles
		(The 240Z and early 260Z is more easily converted to CV-joint half shafts using the 280ZX Turbo companion flange, as outlined here.) The second piece of the adapter bolts to the first piece (using three bolts) and to the 280ZX Turbo CV-joint half shaft using the stock 280ZX Turbo bolts.
		Then I slipped the halfshafts (the shorter shaft goes in the left side of the diff - it also has the shorter splined length) into the R200 differential.
		With the strut and lower control arm bolted into the car, I had to remove the top of the strut to swing it outward to get the two parts of the adapters together.

		Its then a simple matter of installing the half shaft into the differential and bolting the half shafts to the adapters with the supplied hardware.
		You get high grade hardware for mounting CV shafts and stub axle nuts, this includes OEM 280ZXT stub axle nuts which are preferred (no peening required) and all other high grade hardware for the install.
		I found that the best way to bolt up the CV shaft to the adapter was to use a jack and lift up the suspension arm until the flange was parallel with the differential.

		When putting the new half shaft in to the diff DO NOT pound on it, I did this and actually mushroomed the outter end of the axle shaft and then the axle nut would not go on.
