How do you replace steering shaft you joints in a 97 dodge Dakota?
Sorry to tell you but the intermediate shaft must be replaced. That shaft goes from the column thru firewall to the steering gear box. Not hard to replace. Remove bolt at steering box then use a screwdriver or pry bar to slide shaft off the gear box. the shaft will slide into itself in that plastic coupler. Now under the dash near firewall remove the bolt holding shaft to steering column. Again pry shaft off column toward firewall. Back under the hood pull shaft out of firewall. The intermediate shaft cost $271. here in Detroit metro. Go to junk yard. about $35. A Durango is the same shaft. Just make sure there is no play at the joints before removing.

How do you remove a steering column from 1984 Corvette?
The steering column is energy absorbing and is designed to compress in a front-end collision to minimize the possibility of an injury to the driver of the car. Once the steering column is removed from the car, the column is extremely susceptible to damage. Dropping the column on its end could collapse the steering shaft or loosen the plastic injections which maintain column rigidty. Leaning on the column assembly could cause the jacket to bend or deform. Any of the above could impair the column's collapsible design. Use a standard wheel puller and never hammer on the end of the shaft. # Disconnect the battery # Remove pinch bolt at universal coupling of intermediate shaft # Remove lower steering column attaching bolt on the dash & toe panel support # Remove 2 capsule bolts on instrument panel reinforcement assembly # Disconnect all electrical connectors from steering column # Remove steering column assembly

no, the intermediate steering shaft is completely independent of the power steering fluid operation. Make sure that when you remove the shaft, you DO NOT move the steering wheel. The clockspring inside the wheel is very easily damaged. no, I don't see why.
