Editing Z31/vlsdInstall php (section)

=== Method 1 ===

The first way is to combine the Z31 NA half shafts and the Late '94–'96 J30 half shafts. The diff side CV is removed from the J30 half shaft and installed onto the diff side of the Z31 half shaft. Both Bemis and 88SinZ have completed this method. While 88SinZ has successfully installed these into his '88 NA rear end, he suggests using ’84–’86 companion flanges (10mm shorter) for a bit of additional room.

==== J30 Tripod Shaft Disassembly ====

* Remove retaining covers — save cap and spring(s).
* Remove C-clip from passenger side of J30 shaft (the right tool really helps).
* Remove spider assembly (wrap a hammer in a towel or use a rubber mallet).
* Remove diff side boots and housing sub-assemblies.
