Can anyone give me a run down on the freeing them from the torque tube. It looks like it unscrews from itself. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 1,867 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 1,867 | Unbolt the 4 bolts that hold the ball collar to the tranny, slide it back, slide the ball cover back and that will expose the u-joint. It has lock plates that youll need to pry away to remove those bolts and then the yoke can be slid into the torque tube further and dropped to the floor. Be careful with the torque tube as they are heavy as hell! Its a good idea to support it before dissassembling the parts.
