Guibo re install

[Barry.b]

Hi guys
I recently fitted a brand new guibo
It came supplied with a metal band around it holding it in shape.
Once installed I removed the metal band and all was well.
Unfortunately I have to remove my driveshaft again so I am just wondering is it possible to reuse that same new guibo again when I put everything back together ?
- it no longer has that metal band around it

my thoughts,

I wonder if you only remove three bolts you might be able to reuse it
also you can try that clamps for hoses that come in a continuous long stripe and then you cut to size

I haven't had an issue with reusing guibos.

you will use a big prybar to compress one bolt hole surround at a time if you want quick and dirty or use a big hose clamp if you want fancy.

I had thought you could remove the drive shaft bolts as long as the tranny flange bolts remained in place.

yes. that is my thought too

That is exactly what the manual says.

Just have to use a large screwdriver to coax the bolts back in.

Okay
Sounds good
It would be a waste of a brand new part otherwise
Thanks again for the advice !
