It had to be taken apart to remove it and re-installed the same way with new grade 8 bolts.
They look like LEYRUB joints - used on the Morris Commercial 8 cwt PU & CS8 15 cwt trucks . They used them on the prop shaft . Also used on post war Commer trucks of the 1950's , the Commer knocker . Been told the little building site Lister dump things used them .

I know of a place that has some NOS , but he wants 180 bucks each

I think the Humber 4X4 of WW2 uses them too , between the gearbox and transfer box ?
