29/10/2022 Q: What should be noticed when replacing Front Propeller Shaft?
A:
When removing the propeller shaft, you can 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. You should inspect the splines of the transfer case output shaft for a sufficient coating of lubricant. If the output shaft does not have a sufficient coating of lubricant, you should lubricate the shaft with grease, GM P/N 12345879 (Canadian P/N 10953511), or equivalent lubricant meeting GM Specification 9985830.
