Priceless ^^

Give me a call if you are interested in rebuilding it yourself. The bearings cost less than $100, and the clutch is $150ish. I don’t recall the part numbers but the parts are very easy to get. It took me 3 hours to remove, rebuild, and reinstall. 907-350-0999

Hi Scott - I'd like some pointers on this job

I'm trying to move my butler machine from 2006 gmc savana to 2019 gmc savan. Will the drive shaft fit the new van?

I am no expert with the Butler units, but it probably will. I hope so, because I am in the process of refurbishing the drive shaft on my 2007 Butler.It was easy enough to split the shaft housing and remove the rear concentric bearing.
The difficulty i have run into is the front bearing and not being able to drive the shaft backwards for the removal of the other two bearings.
I have taken it to a machine shop because I don't want to damage the shaft.

You are switching from a mechanical throttle body to an electric throttle body. That won’t be a bolt up transfer. You will need some conversion parts
