[urq] tranny seal leak - prop shaft

[QSHIPQ at aol.com]

When you remove the tail piece,  also a good time to consider doing  the late 
style center locker (you can drive the dog clutch roll pin out, and it  will 
sit in the bottom of the trans tail vs fishing with a magnet for it).   On the 
pre 84 urq's, you also want to remove the spring that is under the boot  of 
the locking shaft, and replace the boot (you can use a brake caliper boot for  
this).  That spring was deleted in 84> center lockers.

Just to  add to the excellent description.
I also changed the bearing at the same  time.. sort of while I'm in there.
