Hello again another question. I can't disassemble the driveshaft
From what I saw in YouTube movies, there is a ring -CIRCLIP 20MM number 16 (as it appears in a book) that needs to be removed
I don't have the ring on my motorcycle , but I have a **** that I need to pull it out
Is that the way?
Another question .is it possible to dismantle the driveshaft from behind ?
There is another ring -CIRCLIP 20MM number 16 too. I removed it but done nothing

I ask as they cannot be repaired unless you have a new way of doing it.

Re: gl1000 -1978 driveshaft question
Anything built by man can be rebuilt! Now its a question of what you would pay.
There is a write up on fixing u joints for Goldwings. Lots of machine work (read that as expensive) but it can be done.
Basically you have to grind or mill the staked ends and cut a new ring around to hold in the cir-clips used in car types (but smaller of course). They even had a u joint to order!
Me i have a spare u joint that is tight

We did go to the moon.
The law of diminishing returns quickly comes into play.

Re: gl1000 -1978 driveshaft question
When Honda discontinued the older shafts, there were articles here on how to rebuild them. However, Honda brought back the factory part at a good price, so the interest dried up.

After not finding anywhere from where I have a ״ pin ״ in driveshaft instead of a ring ( CIRCLIP 20MM ) .
I drilled the pin and the driveshaft would come out /
"The engine is finally out and i can start painting the frame
