How to replace the rear Drive Shaft on Buick Rainier?

The first step when replacing a rear propeller shaft involves accurate marking of driveline elements when taking them apart from the propeller shafts to drive axles and pinion flanges and output shafts for reassembly keeping components in their removal position. The mechanics should raise the vehicle then label the propeller shaft points which will connect to the transmission or Transfer Case and rear axle pinion yoke. Softly unscrew the bolts and yoke retainers which anchor the rear axle pinion yoke and handle both parts with extreme caution to stop damaging the injection joints. The propeller shaft needs sliding forward to detach from the rear axle pinion yoke then backward to detach from the transmission or Transfer Case before removing the shaft. During installation you should check that Slip Yoke splines have enough grease applied before adding gm p/n 12377985 or its equivalent if necessary. Reinstall the propeller shaft into the transmission or Transfer Case while aligning the reference marks from uninstallation before connecting it to the rear axle pinion yoke by lining up its reference marks. Set the yoke retainers and bolts in position before tightening them to 20 n.m (15 lb ft). The last step is to lower the vehicle.
