I tried to install a driveshaft loop in my turbo buick. I took the U-bolts off the ends that hold the driveshaft to the yoke and surround the ends of the U-joint. I found a thin metal bar that runs from one end of the U-joint to the other. It's very thin and bends easy. It has pointed ends on it that I believe slid under the snap rings on the ends of the U-joint. I pulled it out cause I thought it had something to do with the driveshaft removal. Came out a lot easier than it went back in. I'm not even sure if I got it back in correctly. I didn't go any further with it. How important is this piece? Also, how do I get the driveshaft out so I can put the loop in?
