How to Service the Drive Shaft on a 4.0L on 2005 Ford Mustang?

Service of the driveshaft on a 4.0L vehicle starts with positioning the vehicle in neutral and hanging it on a hoist. You should mark the driveshaft for alignment before reinstalling it. The service requires you to remove and discard the eight driveshaft flange bolts while tightening new bolts to 76 ft. lbs. (103 Nm). The effective method for disengaging driveshaft flanges from flange pilots requires a suitable tool to pry only in the designated area and never involves hammering on driveshaft or its components. By properly positioning the driveshaft flanges onto pinion flange pilots you will achieve proper seating before you tighten the flange bolts using a cross pattern. New driveshaft flange bolts can be replaced by coating the original bolts with medium strength threadlocker TA-25 that meets Ford specification WSK-M2G351-A5. The installation ends by performing the removal steps in reverse while installing fresh fasteners.
