when doing this note the following:  
     
Note:  
     
It is essential that the locking fluid remaining in 
the threads in the drive flanges on the 
transmission and rear final drive is cleaned out 
after removing the driveshaft. Otherwise there 
is a danger that the new bolts will seize when 
they are screwed in and then shear if they have 
to removed later. 
     The threaded holes can be cleaned with a 
thread tap. 
     Replace the gaskets on the drive flanges 
(remove backing foil and stick gaskets onto 
drive flange; make sure that the surfaces are 
free of grease). 
    
To prevent imbalance, the flanges on the driveshaft -A- and on the 
rear final drive -B- must be installed so that the factory markings (or 
the markings made on removal) are in alignment (arrows). If a new driveshaft is being installed and the factory paint marking on 
the rear final drive flange is no longer visible, the radial run-out at the 
flange for the driveshaft must be measured   Page 39

 , and the 
paint marking on the driveshaft must be aligned with the marking on
