5. NOTE: The driveshaft flange yoke fits tightly on the pinion flange pilot. Never hammer on the driveshaft, or any of its components, to disconnect
the driveshaft flange from the pinion flange.
Using a suitable tool, pry only in the area shown to separate the driveshaft flange yoke from the pinion flange.
6. CAUTION: The driveshaft flanges fit tightly on the pinion flange pilot. To make sure that the driveshaft flange seats squarely on the
pinion flange, tighten the driveshaft flange bolts evenly in a star pattern.
CAUTION: If new driveshaft flange bolts are not available, coat the threads of the original driveshaft flange bolts with Threadlock and
sealer.
To install, reverse the removal procedure.
