Front driveshaft replacement

[oblivionnewtonjohn]

I got it sorted, made more sense once out. Wire brush and painting the shaft while it's out.
The front does have an accordion style boot over the spline, and the ME807 kit showed what appeared to be a replacement boot which threw me off.

All is well, onward. More pics coming as I've got some leaks to pinpoint.

Got it done. Old bearing was a beast to get off the spline.
I still have some play, but no noise. How much play is normal?
