Harbor Freight sells wax marking crayons. I would mark the position of the drive shaft in relation to the yolk so it could be put back together in the same position. A lot of reviewers are convinced it does not matter if you reinstall it 180 ° as originally installed. It is good practice and does not take very long to do. I also would wrap the end of the drive shaft in some Ziploc freezer bags to keep everything together and also put the other parts in a bag in the driver's compartment. Thank you for being careful. Other people don't realize that if something goes wrong, it costs a lot of money to repair it.

The reason for a spreader bar is so you have to use wood block(s) to hold the chain/ strap away from a part that you don't want to damage,the wood block(s) could/ might slip out of place then possibly cause damage.

Hello My Good Brother, EXCELLENT JOB MY FRIEND! If I may suggest if not you can tell me to shut the H up, but it’s just a friendly suggestion. And that is I would have never swung the truck over to get it back to landing, #1 swinging it made all the more potential for your blocks to shift and wheels to turn on ya. # 2 you had to swing it over the electrical outlet another potential danger. So to eliminate that all you had to do was boom it backwards straight back would have had a lot more control on the blocks of wood and truck steering shouldn’t have moved going straight back, hell you could have also hopped in the truck since it runs and reversed it slowly back on land with your boom remote in cab with you of course. Just my friendly 2-Cents probably wouldn’t have chipped away at your nerves as bad backing it straight also. But hey I’m a nobody lol I surely don’t run a big ass rotator as you do you are the one with the nerves of steel my Brother. At the end of the day you handled it precisely! God Bless My Friend..

You make a very good point. With the truck raised up, the wheels don't have to go up a 90° incline and as you back the water truck, you can give it more cable with your remote control. That seemes like a very feasible idea.

Enjoyed your video BUT: Health and Safety A as soon as you lifted that water truck you should have put a Wheel Ramp under each wheel , At least twelve inches high off the floor then lowerd water truck on these Wheel ramps. Then you should have chained the water truck to your lifting bar . Then and only then you were safe to go under the water truck to dissengage the drive shaft OK. HEALTH AND SAFETY There are two simply words that apply world wide to any job that anyone is doing They are WHAT IF , WHAT IF SOME PLANKS HAD knocked the water truck from that truck that passed you when you were under it and knocked it of your lifting bar because it was nt chained etc etc . I WANT EVERY ONE OUT THERE TO BE SAFE AND TO GO HOME TO THERE LOVED ONES SO MINSET IS WHAT IF RESPECT AND BEST REGARDS FROM SWANSEA WALES UK .
