A British phrase for drive shaft or propeller shaft. What he means is, did you disconnect the universal joints before dragging it on the tracks.

Half shaft in British terminology is the two shafts within an axle that drive the hubs from the diff.

Half shaft = axle shaft
Rear axle = axle assembly

Terry, there are no universal joints in your average carrier.

Ok I understand the concept

The engine and gearbox is not in the vehicle .

* All the levers of a steering system was dismantled
* lever of the brake system was dismantled

In fact there were only rear axle
Dragging the vehicle caused all parts to move
* Allowing continuation easily dismantled

** I apologize for my English
