19. Install the new set rings in the driveshaft groove
and intermediate shaft groove.
20. Apply a light film of grease around the set ring groove
on the inboard joint, then install a new set ring and
center it on the joint. The grease will keep the set
ring centered, making the installation of the joint
easier.
21. Install the inboard end of the driveshaft into dif-
ferential or intermediate shaft.
CAUTION:
• Always use a new set ring whenever the drive-
shaft is being installed.
• Make sure the left driveshaft locks in the dif-
ferential side gear groove, and the CV joint
subaxle bottoms in the differential.
• Insert the right driveshaft CV joint subaxle into
the intermediate shaft until the intermediate
shaft set ring locks in the groove in the right
driveshaft.
Apply light film of
grease before installing.
