Starting the replacement of the one-piece propeller shaft requires a vehicle lift. Mark the connection points between the propeller shaft and the yoke followed by removal of its retainer bolts and retainers. The u-joint bearing caps need secure joining to prevent their separation from the cross and needle bearing loss by utilizing tape. The propeller shaft requires removal at the
Transfer Case point when your car has 4wd or at the transmission point for 2wd. Enter the propeller shaft into the transmission or the Transfer Case based on 2wd or 4wd specifications before removing the tape from the u-joint to align the reference marks. Place the propeller shaft into the yoke and then connect the u-joint retainers before fastening retaining bolts at 25 n.m (18 lb ft). Finally, lower the vehicle.
