How to replace a two-piece drive shaft on 2008 GMC Sierra 1500?

The tools you need to replace the two-piece propeller shaft include clamp pliers with narrow jaw (J 43218). Raising the vehicle will enable you to mark all driveline components by using reference points between the front propeller shaft where it connects to the transmission or Transfer Case and the rear propeller shaft at its connection to the rear axle pinion yoke. The next steps involve removing the clamp which secures the boot to front propeller shaft stub shaft then to the rear propeller shaft Slip Yoke before proceeding to unscrew bolts and yoke retainers from the rear axle pinion yoke. You must first detach the rear propeller shaft from the rear axle pinion yoke moving it forward before moving it backward to break its connection with the front propeller shaft stub shaft before removing it from the vehicle. The boot on the front propeller shaft stub shaft should be removed when possible before you separate the center bearing support nuts from the center bearing support. The front propeller shaft installation requires sliding from the transmission pinion yoke for vehicles without rpo mw3 or m74 while vehicles with those antennas require disconnecting from the transmission pinion yoke. When installing the front propeller shaft users should first insert it into the transmission or Transfer Case maintaining the reference markings from removal before tightening the bolts only partially. After installing yoke retainers with corresponding bolts the center bearing support receives installation followed by sequence tightening of bearing support nuts to 40 n.m (30 lb ft) and yoke retainer bolts to 25 n.m (18 lb ft). The front propeller shaft stub shaft splines should be checked for grease before applying chassis grease according to gm p/n 12377985 or equivalent to provide lubrication. You can fit the boot along with two new clamps around the front propeller shaft stub shaft if required before inserting the rear propeller shaft Slip Yoke onto this stub shaft. Safely position the rear propeller shaft onto the rear axle pinion yoke while matching reference markers and then fasten it with yoke retainers and bolts which must be tightened to 25 n.m (18 lb ft). Use clamp pliers narrow jaw (J43218) to clamp boot clamps until measurements reach their specifications while lowering the vehicle.
