Propeller Shaft support bearing fix for 85 4KQ needed

[Denis]

You can use BMW part but i dont know witch one. You can also get from Neapco
something similar, but like BMW you ll have to mod the bracket.

I did mine myself in SS bracket and works good. I listed the material in the
previous emails. I can send the list and pics if you want to.

The previous owner of my 100Q got a bad center support bracket, the bearing
and u-joint  were good so he cut and opened the support and  putted a skidoo
strap as a rubber(with urethan glue for windshield) then he welded the
bracket it worked good. But with my tranny swap i needed another driving
shaft,,, 5000TQ in my case so i dont use the center support,,, in this car..

This job is cheap but it works good and you dont need to rebuilt all the
driving shaft,,,, much cheaper.

By the way remove the CV joint, clean them , change balls, easy to get from
bearing dealer, then grease it .....
