Advice on removing these bolts

Hope these pics help.
1st pic you can see the bottom of the rear driveshaft U joint that connects to the CB is about in the 5 o'clock position.

2nd pic is the rear drive shaft to axle. The bottom of the U joint is in about the 5 o'clock position.
Check to see if those are lined up.

 

Thank you will do.

 

Thanks i will check. I never took off any of the ujoints for this job, so i dont see why they would he in a different position than what they were before. Will check though

 

Plan for today- come home from work, take out the new csb bearing, put back in my old one, drive and see if my new problem goes away. If it does, i will either bite the bullet and by the toyota one for 280 because i cant confirm if any of the other spicer ones are ACTUALLY for my truck. OR i will buy a cheap dorman one and pray it lasts a year at least.

 

Put the washer in!!!

 

Ooo that washer aint that important

 

My joints are not lined up like that. But i doubt thats the problem as they have most likely been like that since ive got the truck before this new problem.. and i put the old bearing back on and same problem..

 

ACTUALLY now that i remember right. When doing the job the first time my slope yoke pulled out a little and twisted.. can i line up the u joints just by looking at it with my eyes?

 

Yes.

 

@empty_lord how do i line them back up? I dropped the shaft and pulled the shaft back from yoke but i cant twist the shaft and line them up. Do i need to dissasemble the joint?

 

How do you line them back up?

 

Nvrm, just pulled the shaft from the slip yoke. Didnt know u could do that!

 

I’d love to see a pic of this. Can you post one?

 

This pic would show us the inner workings of where all the Slip Joint grease pumps disappear. We need a pic!

 

its just a bunch of splines.

 

I marked my flanges and marked the flange to spline, just so the mojo was exactly the same when it put it back.

 

Mojo is important. Often overlooked and rarely understood.

 

I don’t have a full grasp on the entire workings, but I’ve got a good idea, and I respect the Mo and the Jo; Separately And together

 

Its like Yin and Yang but at a Black Belt Level.

 

I bought this one off Big Gurrl for about $120? a while back.

 

Sorry no pic. It did not fix my issue. Drove my truck on the highway for a few miles at 70-80mph just to make sure the truck is still driveable and "safe". Still kinda frustrated.. she will see the mechanic the 29th. I wish we could post videos and audio on here so u guys could hear what I'm talking about at least

 

Can you move the rear driveshaft by hand? Maybe a bad U joint somewhere.

 

You can do video/audio. You'll need to create on youtube then attach the link here.

 

Nope. All nice n tight. It sounds like a bad bearing or something. I hope its me diff so i have an excuse to just get it rebuilt already as i already have a noisey pinion bearing.

 

Its basically a bunch of splines. I longer and skimnier version of the splines coming out of the carrier bearing basically

 

Its just interesting cause its most noticeable at 45-48 mph. And when i give it more throttle to apply more torque (basically at the point in my powerband where the rpms stay the same but u can feel more torque being applied, its right after my o/d kicks in) thats when the sound gets real deep and rhythmic

 

Hmmm, that may not be your bearings. That sound is constant and just increases linear to vehicle speed.

 

What about the other shaft. Is it hollow? All the way up to the other end?
