Re: Steering gear and carrier support replacement questions...daily driver help.

By coincidence I just happen to be working on my driveshaft now. I marked everything for orientation on reassembly and took the whole two piece drive shaft assembly out to start with. Very little trans fluid came out when I pulled out the shaft but I kept a pan under it anyway.

At the center support, I removed the u-joint trunnion bearing first. Then unbolted the yoke. I had a hard time sliding the yoke off the splines. I needed a puller, some heat, some penetrant soak time, and some praying. I just cut off the bearing.

Here are a few pics I took that show all the parts at the center support. Some have been cleaned already. Hope this looks like yours and helps a little.
