Remove the drive shaft from the transmission
Use jimmy tool 9995462 when removing the drive shaft.
NOTE:
Pull the constant velocity joint , not the drive shaft joints, when removing the drive shaft. There is no axial pinion.
NOTE:
Take care not to damage the drive shaft when removing it from the transmission.
CAUTION:
Later models have a rubber seal on the constant velocity joint. Do not damage the seal. It will be needed for installation.
