3. If equipped with the double clamp style boot, remove the clamp (4) at the transfer case by prying up the exposed end of the clamp with a
flat-bladed tool.
4. Reference mark the relationship of the propeller shaft to the front axle pinon yoke.
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.
