    Giubo kit vs just giubo?

    About to put an order in- do I need the kit or can I get away with just the giubo by itself?

    You can re use the bolts.

    Would I need any of the other hardware? A center sleeve I believe, or can I reuse mine?

    You won't know until you take the guibo and shaft off. The fwd end of the shaft that the sleeve and it's inner diameter sits in, mates up to the transmisson output shaft outer diameter.

    FYI, I replaced my guibo and centre support bearing last year, had the prop shafts balanced as a single unit at the same time as well. I re-used the same bolts.

    The center sleeve requires a slide hammer or something to pull/pry/ cut out I think. It kind of seems like a lot of work but it's recommended to change that and also the hardware. Plus there a lot of stress that goes to those bolts so for peace of mind I wound change them jic.

    Fwiw I bought a bmw guibo, bolts and nuts to do. I should do the csb but idk.. dropping an exhaust that's been on for 20 years ehhh... we'll see once I get under
