How to Service and Repair a Three-Piece Rear Drive Shaft on 2003 Ford Excursion?

A proper service and repair of the three-piece rear driveshaft begins by supporting the vehicle then applying index-marks to the driveshaft at the axle flange before the axle flange disconnect using discarded bolts and U-joint retainers. Connect mechanics wire for driveshaft support and detach it from the coupling shaft before discarding the bolts and U-joint retainers when you support the driveshaft. Begin by taking out the bolts which support the center bearing along with the rear driveshaft assembly but maintain an index-mark on the driveshaft to the transmission flange or output shaft. Vehicles equipped with circular flanges require the removal of all bolts followed by discarding them before the center bearing support bolts and front driveshaft bolts must be taken out. Users of slip yoke vehicles should lower the driveshaft before sliding it backward off the transmission output shaft while using extension housing plugs to stop fluid leakage. Clean the driveshaft yoke areas thoroughly as well as all components while carefully wiping the center bearing's bearing and rubber insulator without submerging them in any solvent. During inspection check the slip yoke boot for universal joints and visually inspect drive shaft center bearing support for its operational condition and examine center bearing rubber insulator for damage signs because these components may need replacement. You should align the index marks during installation before connecting the circular flange transmission to front driveshaft. Use new bolts for this operation while implementing a hand-tightening method only. When installing driveshaft slip yokes with index marks present users should position the yoke by aligning those markers onto the output shaft. Install the center support bearing bolts while keeping them only hand-tight. Position the rear driveshaft assembly and install its center support bearing bolts with hand-tightening before tightening the transmission to driveshaft flange bolts as well as driveshaft center bearing bolts. Begin by setting up the rear driveshaft assembly to the front driveshaft through new retainer and bolt setup before connecting it to the rear axle with similar new retainer and bolt components and finish with correct torque on driveshaft center support bearing bolts.
