I remember doing this on my big red. Trying to hook up the rearend/axle/axle housing/u joint/spring/to the transmission output all at once so i could bolt it in. What a pain in the arse! I ended up rigging op something that I can't really remember or explain and finally got it with trial and error. I used to have a 225dx for a short while but never messed with the driveshaft but i can see why it would be hard on a yamaha too. Sorry I can't help much but Good Luck!

take the rear end off, put the shaft in the motor, put the rear end back on again and your ready to go, very simple, takes like 30 min tops
