Driveshaft Installation
1. Install a new set ring in the set ring groove of the left driveshaft.
2. Apply 0.5 - 1.0 g (0.02 - 0.04 oz) of grease to the whole splined surface (A) of the right driveshaft. After applying grease, remove the grease from
the splined grooves at intervals of 2 - 3 splines and from the set ring groove (B) so that air can bleed from the intermediate shaft.
3. Clean the areas where the driveshaft contacts the differential thoroughly with solvent or brake cleaner, and dry with compressed air. Insert the
inboard end (A) of the driveshaft into the differential (B) or intermediate shaft (C) until the new set ring (D) locks in the groove (E).
