That is what I suspected. Thank you for the reply. Now I have a problem because I don't have the pillow block in place. The intermediate shaft is welded to the u-joints on both ends. Aside from replacing the assembly is there a way to rework it? Also does it matter where on the intermediate shaft the heim is placed? (i.e. centered or close to one end or the other).

Thanks, John
