Front Wheel Drive Intermediate Shaft

Procedure

After installation of the right wheel drive shaft, assure a proper installation by prizing the intermediate shaft. If it is not movable, the installation is proper.

Note: The DT-6332 protector must be installed into the differential output shaft seal prior to removing and installing the intermediate shaft. Failure to install the DT-6332 protector may cause splines of the intermediate shaft to cut the differential output seal.

By testing for a proper installation the risk of over insert is given.
