Aluminum Driveshaft

[Guero]

Is it hard to install? got mine in the mail today.

Very simple. It takes longer to jack the car up than it does to swap the D/S.

easy peasy japanesy

No problems at all. Bolts might be alittle tight but as stated, jacking it up will take you longer.

my homie said i need a specila tool? what tool is that?

 

[Guero]

and will i need oil?

You just need a 12pt socket for the back of it. And remember to put your parking brake on.

You will need threadlock or new DS-to-pumpkin flange bolts, and some trans fluid will probably dump out, unless you are insanely fast with the swap.

 

[Guero]

how bout if i tip the back as high as i can lol.DS-to-pumpkin flange bolts?

 

[HISSIN50]

DS-to-pumpkin flange bolts?

The 4 twelve-point, 12 mm bolts that are at the back end of the driveshaft.

JT means the pinion flange. He's having an early alzhemier's moment right now. Shouldn't be too much longer that I'll start experiencing mine, so any posts I make after this point, I can not be held responsible for

I couldnt use a rachet on mine. I just locked two wrenches together and pulled like hell. No tranny fluid should come out if the car is level or slightly downhill. Just make sure to put a little oil on the tranny yoke to help it slide into the seal.

what you mean locked 2 wrenches together?

Oh ya, you need some elbow grease and a torque wrench, possibly a breaker bar to reduce the need for elbow grease. But nothing to special about that stuff.

It really is pretty easy. I had to pull and reinstall my DS when installing my gears and it was no swet.

Slip the open end of a wrench through the box end of another. That way you have double the leverage.
