How to replace a two-piece drive shaft on GMC Sonoma?

Begin two-piece propeller shaft replacement by performing reference marks accurately on all driveline components regarding their propeller shaft and axles positions before removing parts such as the propeller shaft as well as drive axles and pinion flanges and output shafts keeping the original part positioning relations. Detach the center bearing support bracket from the crossmember before removing necessary bolts or yoke retainers from the pinion flange of the rear axle. Extract the rear propeller shaft through the spline shaft and discharge it from the transmission or Transfer Case rear end. Clean all bearing cap surfaces and bearing straps together with the pinion yoke of corrosion using crocus cloth or 400 grit sandpaper before cleaning them with an approved solvent. The technician should check the front Slip Yoke for outer surface burrs and evaluate the wear of Slip Yoke splines while inspecting bearing cup installation and uniform seating and looking for spline twist or incorrect Universal Joint fit. Front propeller shaft stub shaft installation requires at least a sufficient grease coating on its splines while missing grease requires chassis grease use (GM P/N 12377985 or equivalent). Before attachment the front propeller shaft should be installed to transmission or Transfer Case while aligning index splines and ensuring the rear propeller shaft gets installed with its center bearing before the splines of both shafts properly mesh. Install the rear propeller shaft first onto the pinion flange/yoke before tightening the single Universal Joint yoke retainers/gym bolts to 20 nm for single joints and double cardan joint flange bolts to 45 nm. The center bearing alignment must be performed to safeguard the propeller shaft assembly by securing it at 89-91 degrees perpendicular to the propeller shaft during bolt installation. Before lowering the vehicle complete the installation of center bearing bolts to crossmember securing the support bolts with a torque of 70 nm (50 ft. Lbs.).
