Drive Shaft seized on the final drive splines

[Duccrazydave]

Dropping this info here, since it’s driveshaft related. When dropping the final drive, to inspect the splines, I also had a little difficulty separating the two. Nothing dramatic. But after cleaning and lubing the splines, the ease at which they slid back together was very different. Practically no effort. The original lube/paste had turned to something resembling dried up plumbers putty. This probably contributed to the disassembly difficulties. I ended up using Honda M-77 assembly paste. Supposed to have at least 60% moly content. I’ve used something similar for engine assembly. There’s no way it will “solidify” like the other lube.
Just presenting this as another option that might help someone else.
