Martin,
I doesn't hurt to separate them as they are keyed (splines) and only go
back together one way.
I would take this opportunity to separate, inspect and grease them. Be
sure to replace the rubber boot.

Subject: TR6: Half Shafts
Yo:
Just got my TR6 half-shafts back from the shop that replaced the
u-joints.
Upon taking the shafts to them, I dutifully bound them with safety wire,
telling them not to split the shafts, but upon getting the shafts back,
I see that one of them has the safety wire removed, raising the
possibility it was split, though it is not now.
My manual doesn't explain why a shaft shouldn't be separated -- if it
was, would I know? Would I care?
