Vehicles with circular flange

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Ford Pickup, 2007 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2007 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2007 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: The driveshaft yoke fits tightly on the rear axle pinion flange pilot. To make sure that the yoke seats squarely on the flange, tighten the bolts evenly in a cross pattern as shown.

NOTE: Bolt direction is vehicle application dependent.

Install the 4 new driveshaft-to-transfer case bolts.
- For automatic transmission, tighten to 103 Nm (76 lb-ft).
- For manual transmission or rear axle, tighten to 111 Nm (82 lb-ft).
