Im a noob and need some tips on a front drive shaft install. Now do you just unbolt each side and remove then put the new one up then bolt in, or is it more complex than that? Do I need any type of grease or oil for it? Pictures will help. Thanks a lot. :wink:

Just unbolt and compress it a little and it comes right out. :JEEPIN:

mine didn't come out as easily as that, so don't get frustrated if it's not that simple. my exhaust was in the way to the point i contemplated dropping it to remove the driveshaft. also the compressing to disengage it wasn't a cake job either.

Length wise it will compress a inch or two.

Now my new shaft came with a yellow line on each side, you know, to make it. Now on the new shaft does those lines need to line up with anything on the t-case or anything like that or does it just go up in any position? BTW, thank you guys for all the help you have been giving me through all this, I would seriosly be "Lost" with out all the help! Thanks again! :D

To tell you the truth I am not sure if you need to line them up. The only ones I have replaced were salvage and I just bolted them up and they worked fine.

When 2 of my front D-Shafts where replaced under warranty they always lined up the Yellow lines (Yes at one time there where matching yellow lines on my T-case and front Diff Flange), even though I'm not really sure why they are there.

It must be for balance but mine did not have any marks.

Just did it, I have a post asking for help with a different issue. To get it out i took the three bolts, 1 low 2 high, holding the transfer case shift linkage. That allowed the bracket to move out of the way of the rear CV joint. I tried the exhaust but the O2 sensor is in the way of getting to the top bolt, not enough room to get a wrench in.

i just put in a clutch a had a heck of a time getting the front drive shaft out. what i had to do was remove it from the t case then push it up above the t case out put. that give enough room for the other end to be removed. hope that helps.
