prior to disassembly must be followed.

2. Reference mark the rear propeller shaft (3) to the rear axle pinion yoke (4).
3. Reference mark the front propeller shaft to the transmission or transfer case (slip yoke type) or to the transmission pinion yoke (universal joint

exposed end of the clamp (2) using a flat bladed tool (if applicable).
