How to Remove and Replace the Rear Wheel Drive Shaft on Ford Ranger?

A proper driveshaft (RWD) removal starts when the vehicle sits in transmission neutral position on a raised platform. The drivers need to index-mark both the driveshaft flange to the rear axle pinion flange to retain balance and the index marks present on the extension housing and driveshaft before they pull these elements apart. Acceptable replacement of the driveshaft begins by marking an index point on the transmission output shaft that corresponds to the index mark on the transmission extension housing. Use new bolts to attach the four rear axle flange bolts by tightening them to 112 Nm (83 lb-ft). A suitable tool works best for nonforcefully separating the driveshaft flange from the pinion flange in the pre-assigned area. Guide the driveshaft downward before removing it from the output shaft next to which you should apply an extension housing plug to stop any fluid leakage. To install correctly position the driveshaft flange directly on the pinion flange while applying cross bolt sequences for equal bolt tension. Use the opposite method of removal steps to install the component.

How to Service and Repair the Front Drive Shaft of a 4X4 on Ford Ranger?

Service and repair operations for the front driveshaft on a 4X4 vehicle should begin with securing neutral gear and then supporting the vehicle at height. The front axle pinion flange must be exactly positioned to the front driveshaft as must the transfer case pinion flange to the front driveshaft. Remove first the transfer case and then front axle connecting bolts before the retainers and bolts between the front driveshaft and the transfer case. Additionally remove the front driveshaft after detaching its components. The replacement process for the driveshaft requires following the opposite order of removal steps.
