Driveshaft Center Support Question - PICS
84D. I was going to work on replacing the driveshaft center support on the weekend but I didn't have a large enough open wrench (1 3/4? & 1 5/8?) to loosen the shaft nut (Recently noticed shuddering/vibration at low speeds.) Found the rubber bushing in rough shape.
So, am going to have the wrenches today and try it tonight. I do have some questions if those who have done this work can verify my observations and give me some pointers.
From what I've seen so far, to change the center support bushing & bearing, I don't think I need to remove the front half of the shaft. Just unscrew the shaft nut to remove the rear half of the shaft?
Is the reason for unscrewing the shaft nut because it holds the spline in place? Also, is a puller necessary to remove the bushing/bearing?
I also plan to replace the tranny support while I'm down there. Thanks...
Adding pics below......... got the sleeve nut loosened. Now waiting for center support...
