Notice: When removing the propeller shaft, do not attempt to remove the shaft by pounding on the yoke ears or using a tool between the yoke and the universal joint. If the propeller shaft is removed by using such means, the injection joints may fracture and lead to premature failure of the joint.
Wrap the bearing caps with tape in order to prevent the loss of bearing rollers.

Important: If the rotating torque is exceeded, the pinion will have to be removed and a new collapsible spacer installed.
Tighten
Tighten the pinion nut until the pinion end play is just taken up. Rotate the
pinion while tightening the nut to seat the bearings.
Compare the measurement with the rotating torque recorded earlier.
Tighten
Tighten the pinion nut, in small increments, as needed, until the torque required
in order to rotate the pinion is 0.40-0.57 N·m (3-5 lb in)
greater than the torque recorded during removal.
Align the reference marks made during removal.
Tighten
Tighten the yoke retainer bolts to 25 N·m (18 lb ft).
