What Preparations Are Necessary Before Removing the Rear Drive Shaft on a 4X2 on Ford Explorer?

A safe method to start rear driveshaft removal on 4X2 vehicles involves disabling air suspension electrical power through the switch inside the rear jack storage area which will block sudden air spring inflation or deflation. The vehicle must be set to neutral before securely raising and supporting it. Index-mark the driveshaft to the driveshaft rear axle pinion flange and also index-mark the driveshaft slip yoke to the transmission output shaft. Disconnect the four bolts from the driveshaft and lower the transmission component while pushing it back before plugging the extension housing to stop oil leakage. You need to replace the existing rear driveshaft-to-driveshaft rear axle pinion flange bolts with new ones but old bolts can be preserved by coating their threads with Threadlock and Sealer EOAZ-19554-AA or an equivalent substance that meets Ford specification WSK-M2G351-A5. Perform the installation by reversing the steps from removal.
