Going to try to sell my driveshaft in a few weeks and looking at options to ship this for a reasonable price. Is it possible to separate the sections ? Strap it to a piece of wood and wrap it ?

Thanks.

I used some boxes used for rolled printer paper and pushed two together.

You can't take it apart so it ends up being a big box.

Cost me about $70 @ UPS.

Thats what I was afraid of. Shipping can be a real deal killer sometimes.

You can pull the slip joint apart. I've seen it on another post somewhere. I don't remember exactly how though and I can't seem to find it.
