Toyota 37110-3D510 Drive Shaft

To remove the Drive Shaft, start by loosening the wheel lug nuts and raising the vehicle on jack stands. Make marks on the driveshaft flange yoke and differential flange for proper reinstallation. Remove the bolts or nuts securing the flange yoke to the differential. Lower the driveshaft and slide the front out of the transmission for 2WD models. For 4WD models, separate the flange at the transfer case. Wrap a plastic bag over the transmission extension housing to prevent fluid loss and contamination. For installation, remove the plastic bag, clean the area, and inspect the oil seal. Slide the front of the driveshaft into the transmission for 2WD models or bolt the flange yoke to the transfer case for 4WD models. Raise the rear of the driveshaft into position, ensuring alignment with the marks on the flange yoke and differential. Finally, tighten all bolts and nuts, remove the jack stands, and lower the vehicle.
