Removal and Installation

WARNING: The normal operating temperature of the exhaust system is very high. Never attempt to remove any part of the system until it has
cooled. Be especially careful when working around the catalytic converters. The temperature of the converter rises to a high level after only a
few minutes of engine operation. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
 

CAUTION: Index-mark both the driveshaft flanges.

1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to Maintenance/Service and Repair.

2. CAUTION: Do not reuse the CV joint bolts. Install new bolts or damage to the vehicle may occur.

Remove and discard the 4 front driveshaft-to-transfer case bolts.

To install, tighten to 70 Nm (52 ft. lbs).
