Installing
Installation is carried out in the reverse order,
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
-73
, and the
paint marking on the driveshaft must be aligned with the marking on
