What torque setting should the 5/16 bolts on the rear yolk be set to? I'm a big fella and have a tendency to overtorqe/strip bolts unless I know the torque specs. Thanks for your videos on the yj jeep driveline.
Not sure on the top of my head. The settings are probably online somewhere. I have always used the method shown and never had a problem. Thanks for checking out our videos.
so this is what i need to remove if I am transfering it on a uhaul dolly trailer? they want me to disconnect the drive shaft...is there anything else i should do? great video, thanks a lot!
Yes. Do this before towing. You can put it on the tow dolly as normal so that you can secure the vehicle as shown on the Uhaul tow dolly video. Once it’s in you can get under easier to do the above disconnect. However, you don’t have to fully remove the drive shaft, you can just unlink it and wire it up so it stays under the keep while you drive. That way you don’t lose and fluids. Easier in my opinion.
We have it on a lift and in neutral. If you are on the ground make sure you chock the tires that are on the pavement and that the vehicle is on a flat surface to prevent it from rolling.
I have a slip yoke eliminator on mine and the shaft will not budge from it. I have a leaking seal and want to replace it. I have the U-joint off at the rear diff. Any tips to get the driveshaft loose?
I've got the driveshaft off at the back and it won't come out of the transfer case? Is there something different I can try? Can I take the cone off for seal and bushing with the driveshaft still hooked up?
It should just slide right out for you. It it is stuck see if you can GENTLY use a pry bar maybe to free it up. It should slide right out as shown in the video.
Just did it, thank you for your help!
Glad it helped!
Very helpful. Thanks for the video bud!
Glad it helped!
If you have any questions about this procedure post here and I'll reply back to you.
Do you need to replace the transfer case fluid that comes out? Im assuming so.
Yes you should top it off with new fluid.

I'm in the same boat (dolly towing my 97 TJ). Did you get an answer to this?
Can confirm. Source: Worked at U-Haul the past 14 years

sorry just saw this question. Your owner's manual may have a proper tow procedure listed.
How do you rotate it freely? Does the parking brake engaged make the driveshaft stay in place?

I would probably get a pry bar behind the shaft to see if you can use a little leverage on the drive shaft to get it out.
How do you recommend to pull front shaft from back side of front yoke on driveshaft.??
You should be able to just unbolt it and pull it out.
Great video... what year's the Wrangler(?)
This one is a 1989
What fluid came out and do you need to replace it?
Some of the transfer case fluid leaked out, it should be topped off if the level is low.
@@HomeOwnerRepair and where do you get to it to replace or top it off at ?
