Propeller Shaft Replacement-Front

Removal Procedure

Important: Observe the position of all the driveline components. Accurately mark the relationship of the components before removal. These components include the propeller shafts, the drive axles, the pinion flanges, and the output shafts. Reassemble all components in the exact relationship to each other as they were before removal. Follow the specifications, the torque values, and any measurements obtained prior to disassembly.

1. Raise and suitably support the vehicle. Refer to Vehicle Lifting.
2. Accurately reference mark the propeller shaft.





3. Remove the front propeller shaft bolts and yoke clamp from the front drive axle.

Installation Procedure
1. Align the previously drawn reference marks.
