How to Service and Repair the Drive Shaft on 2002 Ford Escape?

Service and repair operations for the drive/propeller shaft should start with placing the selector lever in NEUTRAL position while supporting the vehicle by a lift. The ground strap bolt must be removed from the system while all replacement bolts and straps for pinion yoke use new parts instead of reused materials. Following the rear driveshaft universal joint caps' removal you must note the position of the driveshaft's pinion and yoke towards its rear side before throwing away all bolts and straps. Vehicle damage prevention requires installation of new CV joint bolts and washers because they must never be used again. Move ahead to uninstall six front driveshaft to power take-off bolts and washers before disposing of all items. Follow the protocol by replacing the center bearing nuts with new ones because reused nuts could result in damage to the system. Under supervision remove the driveshaft while discarding the center bearing nuts. The reverse methods used for removal should be followed for installation completion.
