i have always been told, and quick looks confirmed, that 986 shafts have two parts
1 main shaft with inner joint
2 outer joint

That's why raxles.com does not sell rebuilt ones, or so they told me.

Do i maybe have it backwards? I don't think so, i'm fairly sure that i did the outer and pulled the circlip and had it in my hand, whcih means the outer is removable.

Yet a fast look at pelican shows an inner joint (btu no outer) for sale....odd.

Educate me. There is an issue here preventing many rebuilders. Also meant i could ntonot repallace my damaged 986 half-shaft (good CVs)

I think i have the inner/outer correct. Yes, i did the outer and pulled the circlip and had it in my hand. The outer is removable.

I'd like to be shown otherwise.
