Caution: Apply the parking brake and block the drive wheels before performing this procedure in order to prevent bodily injury.
Remove the bolt (3) and seal-ring washer (2).
Important: Do the following prior to installation of the yoke assembly:
• Be sure the yoke, output shaft and retaining hardware are clean. • Verify the output seal is free of tears or cuts. • DO NOT attempt to remove scratches from the output seal journal on the yoke assembly. Repair may produce machine lead and leakage.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

Tighten the bolt to 123 N·m (91 lb ft).
