How to replace a one-piece Drive Shaft on GMC Sonoma?

A technic should lift then support a vehicle before starting the one-piece propeller shaft replacement process. Driveline parts such as propeller shafts and drive axles together with pinion flanges and output shafts need marking for precise reinstallation relationships. The clamp bolts at the rear of the pinion flange need removal without hammering yoke ears or inserting tools between Universal Joint and yoke since it can cause injection joint fracture. Move the propeller shaft forward while detaching it from the rear axle flange then apply tape to the bearing cups to avoid bearing roller loss and keep the Universal Joint from becoming excessively angled to avoid breakage. Pull the rear section of the propeller shaft gently while lowering it from the transmission opening. A suitable solvent should be used to clean all parts while you should inspect the nylon injected yoke outer diameter for burrs before checking that bearing cups are properly installed and have uniform seating along with the examination of slip yoke splines for damage requiring part replacement when needed. Installation requires inserting the propeller shaft into the transmission space before lubricating the slip joint while mounting the yoke to the pinion flange. The proper seating requires you to align the reference marks between the pinion flange and the propeller shaft rear yoke before install the retainer systems. For installation of the rear pinion flange bolts users should apply 20 nm (15 ft. Lbs.) torque when working with 2.2l engines yet use 45 nm (33 ft. Lbs.) torque with 4.3l engines.
