The H&T requires cutting, drilling & tapping and can be installed on the vehicle (not the most comfortable position, IMHO.) The shaft replacement style just requires wrenching and is more easily done on a bench, which makes for a more comfortable working position. Having done both, I prefer the full on SYE instead of the H&T. You get a stronger final product for about the same amount of work.

BS!

i did my HD SYE install under the jeep...















then blew the case up and did it on the bench for the next one...
both about the same dificulty...

for any SYE - buy these:

well worth the 15.00

did the forst SYE with cheap snapring pliers that didnt open enough
did it the 2nd time with these - what a wet dream!

I was speaking from the experience of someone who has grown old and tired of wrenching while lying on my back. Someone as young and spry as yourself may not find that such a problem.

Not the one i checked with here, hell they couldnt even get me a u-joint. did some research(opened a phone book) and phone a clutch and driveshaft shop in the old downtown industrial area. it'll be here tomorrow and it cost 60$. Gonna tackle the h and t this weekend.

Really good comments guys. I am sold on the H & T. Now I have to select a supplier. Tom Woods will not sell me a drive shaft if I do not buy the complete kit including the replacement shaft from them. Oh well! Next supplier.

Thanks everyone.
