Rear Driveshaft Installation
NOTE: Before starting installation, make sure the mating surfaces of the joint and the splined section are clean.
1. Install a new set ring (A) into the set ring groove (B) of the rear differential.
2. Apply 1.5-2.0 g (0.053-0.071 oz) of super high temp urea grease (P/N 08798-9002) to the whole splined surface (A). 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 differential.
3. Clean the areas where the driveshaft contacts the differential thoroughly with solvent, and dry them with compressed air.
NOTE: Do not wash the rubber parts with solvent.
4. Make sure the inboard joint (A) is installed all the way into the rear differential (B) and to ensure the set ring (C) is properly seated.
5. Pull the knuckle (A) outward, and insert the rear driveshaft outboard joint (B) into the rear hub.
