Drive Shaft: Installation
- Lubricate slip yoke with lubricant. Remove plug from transmission extension housing. Inspect housing seal for damage and replace if necessary. Install drive shaft. DO NOT allow slip yoke to bottom on output shaft with excessive force.
- Install drive shaft so index marks on rear yoke and differential companion flange line up. This ensures original drive line balance. When installing a new drive shaft, align factory made Yellow paint marks on drive shaft with Yellow paint mark on companion shaft. Install the bolts and tighten to proper specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS table.
