last 28 question

[85general]

iv got everything unhooked from my dana 28 im takin out except for the front drive shaft. i cant get the bolts that hold the u joint in out of there. theres four of em they hold the u joint strap piece on. an what about the back of the front shaft towards the transfercase there is no bolts just u joint is it some kinda slip deal that will just pull out of the t case?

 

[Joe400]

yeah the driveshaft will come apart at the slip yoke. Just pull the two pieces apart

You try a little heat on the bolts? (Ford used Loctite on them)

Are you trying to take them apart with a 7/16" socket (which won't work, insufficient clearance) or a T-30 Torx?

Get a craftsman Torx bit, I broke a couple...

You have to work the rubber boot loose. It is a press fit over the end of the t-case. I always pried behind it with a screwdriver.
