Important: Reference mark the location of the propeller shaft constant velocity (CV) joint to the transfer case flange.
• | Rotational movement between the CV joint (2) and the propeller shaft tube (1) |
• | Grease leaking from the CV joints |
• | Damage to the CV joints |
• | Damage to the CV seals |
• | Binding of either CV joint |
Important: Ensure that the coned end of the propeller shaft CV joint is installed into the transfer case flange.
Important: If reusing the propeller shaft-to-flange bolts to ensure proper adhesion and fastener retention, the threads must be free of debris prior to the application of threadlocker.
Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in the Preface section.
Tighten
Tighten the 6 propeller shaft CV joint-to-differential flange bolts in sequence (1-6) to 36 N·m (27 lb ft).
