Propeller Shaft Replacement - One Piece
Removal Procedure
Important: Observe and accurately reference mark all driveline components relative to the propeller shaft and axles before disassembly. These
components include the propeller shafts, the drive axles, the pinion flanges, the output shafts, etc. All components must be reassembled in the exact
relationship to each other as they were when removed. In addition, published specifications and torque values, as well as any measurements made
prior to disassembly must be followed.
1. Raise the vehicle. Refer to Vehicle Lifting.
2. Reference mark the propeller shaft to the rear axle pinion yoke.
3. Reference mark the propeller shaft to the transmission or transfer case.
4. Remove the bolts (1) and the yoke retainers (2) from the rear axle pinion yoke (3).
Notice: When removing the propeller shaft, do not attempt to remove the shaft by pounding on the yoke ears or using a tool between the yoke and the
universal joint. If the propeller shaft is removed by using such means, the injection joints may fracture and lead to premature failure of the joint.
5. Slide the propeller shaft forward in order to disconnect the propeller shaft from the rear axle pinion yoke.
