Drive shaft direction

[MS6453@aol.com]

Hi all,     

I removed the drive shaft on my 74 TR6 and just want to make sure the 
reinstallation is correct. Bentley describes the position to be the solid 
tube to the front & the splined narrower end to the rear, but that's not the 
position it was in when I removed it. Don't feel like doing this repair 
enough times to get good at it so I want to get it right the first time.
Thanks, Mitch
