Important: Observe the position of all the driveline components. Accurately mark
the relationship of the following components before removal:
• The propeller shafts • The drive axles • The pinion flanges • The output shafts
4.1. | Slide the propeller shaft forward. |
4.2. | Lower the propeller shaft and remove. |
Important: Ensure that the propeller shaft assembly is fully engaged into the slip yoke. The retaining ring will snap into place when the shaft is properly engaged.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 20 N·m (15 lb ft).
