Great article Mat! Thanks!

Hopefully I never have to do that though!

I just really get a kick out of posting my pictures up when anybody mentions half shafts removal.

What happened? Have 1 tire on payment and the other on concrete?

Strangely snapping the outer joke is more common with good tires and stick cars than busting halfshafts;
usually the uni's blow first

I would definately rather snap the uni's.

Don't know , I don't like the idea of the half shaft flailing around under there with no restraint especially it it is under power and the outer uni blows

Yeah it spun into the fiberglass.

Actually it was one tire on pavement one tire briefly off pavement, when it came back down on pavement... good carnage.

Good point. I guess the best scenerio would be to have nothing break at all. Of course as we all know that's just not reality.

wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those great pics are gone. Stop using photobucket.

Post pictures on your facebook or myspace albums. Use firefox, not IE and right click the picture and choose "view image". Copy the link in the address bar to post it here.

Photo bucket deletes stuff too quick, where as facebook seems to keep them long after someones gone from using them.

That's just weird, pictures are still in my album. Have to find a better way I guess. And I do use Firefox, in fact I'm on portable Firefox at work now.
