REMOVAL OF PROPELLER SHAFT

:
Do not pound on original propeller
shaft yoke ears as injection joints may fracture.
There are two methods of attachment of the rear of the
drive shaft to the differential pinion flange or end yoke. One
method is a pair of strap and the other is a pair of U-bolts.
Before removing the propeller shaft on the H Series cars,
the upper control arm that goes from the differential to the
transmission will have to be disconnected from the
differential end. Refer to Section 3D for this procedure.
1. Raise vehicle on hoist. Mark relationship of shaft to
pinion flange and disconnect the rear universal joint by
removing straps or U-bolts. If bearing cups are loose, tape
together to prevent dropping and loss of bearing rollers.
2. Withdraw propeller shaft slip yoke from transmission
by moving shaft rearward, passing it under the axle housing.
Do not allow drive shaft to drop or allow universal joints to
bend to extreme angle, as this might fracture injected joints
internally. Support propeller shaft during removal.
INSTALLATION OF PROPELLER SHAFT
ASSEMBLY
The propeller shaft must be supported carefully during
handling to avoid jamming or bending any of the parts.
1. Inspect outer diameter of splined yoke to ensure that
it is not burred, as this will damage transmission seal. Inspect
splines of slip yoke for damage.
2. Apply engine oil to all splined propeller shaft yokes,
then slide yoke and drive shaft assembly onto transmission
output shaft.
C A U T I0 N
:
Do not drive propeller shaft in place
with hammer. Check for burrs on transmission
output shaft spline, twisted shp yoke splines or
possibly the wrong UIjoint yoke. Make sure that
the splines agree in number and fit.
When making rear shaft connection, be sure to align
mark on pinion flange or end yoke with mark on drive shaft
rear yoke.
3. Position rear universal joint to rear axle pinion flange,
making sure bearings are properly seated in pinion flange
yoke.
4. Install rear joint fasteners and tighten evenly to torque
specified. On H Series cars, reconnect upper control arm.

U
TI 0 N : These propeller shaft to pinion flange
or end yoke fasteners are important attachingparts
in that they may affect the performance o f vital
components and systems, which may result in
major repair expense. They must be replaced with
one of the same part number or with an equivalent
part,
if
replacement becomes necessary. Do not use
a replacement part of lesser quality or substitute
design. Torque values must be used as specified
during reassembly to assure proper retention o f
