Hello! The rear sliding spline where the driveshaft connects to the transfer case requires the driveshaft to be moved forward in the vehicle 6-8 inches. The only place to position the front of the shaft that allows this to happen is to position the front of the driveshaft on top of the front differential so that it has room to be moved forward. Once the transfer case end is removed you can then move the driveshaft rearward without the spline going back into the transfer case so the front of the driveshaft can clear the sway bar and then be removed from the vehicle.

Thank you for working on a truck that actually has some rust on it. 👍🏼
How did you get the drive shaft to just come up to rest on the dif? Should it move back towards transfer case?

I didnt see where he hooked up the presure line to the engine? Did miss something?
Hello!
He reconnects the pressure line around the 6:30-7:00 minute timestamp.
