Propeller Shaft Removal
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Chevrolet Corvette. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Remove the clutch actuator and bolts - manual transmission.
- Remove the flex plate and bolts - automatic transmission.
- Remove the access hole plug, if required - automatic transmission.
- Remove the snap ring (1) from the driveline tube.
- Remove the rear bearing housing bolt hole plugs (1-3).
- Install the J 24420-C and three M10-1.5 x 120 mm bolts to the rear bearing housing.
- Install the J 2619-01 to the J 24420-C and separate the propeller shaft assembly from the driveline tube.
- Remove the propeller shaft assembly from the driveline tube.
- Remove the O-ring (1) from the front of the driveline tube.
- Discard the O-ring.
- Remove the slinger washer (1) from the input shaft.
- Discard the slinger washer.
- Remove the snap ring (2) from the input shaft.
- Remove the bearing (1) from the input shaft.
- Remove the input shaft, bolts, and washers from the front coupling.
- Remove the front coupling (2), bolts (1), and washers from the propeller shaft.
- Remove the bearing housing assembly, bolts, and washers from the rear coupling.
- Remove the rear coupling (1), bolts (2), and washers from the propeller shaft.
- Remove the bushing (1) from the propeller shaft, if required - automatic transmission.
IMPORTANT:
Do not separate the input shaft, propeller shaft, couplings, or bearing housing assembly, unless required. These components are balanced as an assembly. Disassembly and improper assembly of the components may cause vehicle driveline vibration.
If the input shaft, couplings, propeller shaft, or bearing housing assembly must be separated, the components must be marked prior to disassembly. During assembly, the components must be returned to their original position and location.

IMPORTANT:
In order to prevent binding, the propeller shaft assembly must be withdrawn straight and evenly from the driveline tube.
