there should be four bolts you take out, then it should just come off, that's how it was for my truck
A slip yoke has a splined shaft the drive shaft slides over. This allows the drive shaft to flex on rough terrain. A flange yoke has a flat plate on the transfer case and the end of the drive shaft and they bolt together.
A slip yoke is when the end of the drive shaft in a RWD vehicle plunges in and out of [most likeley] transmission when rear suspension is flexed.
First make drive shaft and yoke to insure tat they are replaced in the same location to maintain factory balance Remove small "U" bolts at yoke Pry drive shaft out of yoke Pull driveshaft off splined end
Remove 2 small u-bolts from rear end yoke Pry drive shaft out of yoke Slide front end of drive shaft off front splines
front drive shaft, how do you get the yoke out of the transfore case to replace the ceal?
NO. It has a slip yoke.
The tailshaft housing and bushing
The Welsh plug in the yoke is no longer sealed. The yoke will need replaced.The Welsh plug in the yoke is no longer sealed. The yoke will need replaced.
Mark driveshaft and yoke to install in same location to maintain factory balance Remove 2 small "U" bolts from rear end yoke Pry driveshaft out of yoke Slide off spline from transmission not all drive shafts are one piece. How you remove the center support bearing(carrier bearing) from the forward drive shaft?
Dealer, salvage yard, Ebay.........
Mark position of drive shaft and yoke - to install in the same position (not to upset balance) Remove and discard small "U" bolts on yoke Slide drive shaft up spline end to dislodge drive shaft from yoke. You can either "beat" U join out of shaft, but better to bring to auto parts store that has a machine shop to install new joint Use new "U" bolts to install Make sure "U" joint is fully seated in yoke and installed in same position as removed
It is a staked joint drive shaft. It is not meant to be serviced.
