727 tailshaft seal question

Thanks. I've had it off a couple times, I jack the rear only so nothing comes out so it works pretty well :p Yeah I guess you're right about just cutting it off. And it won't affect the seal? I mean other than allowing a bit of road dust to get on the part of the yoke sticking out.
Nope. I circumcised the seal on my Dart the other day trying to see what the longest driveshaft length was that would fit.
