Why did you mark the flange if your replacing it with a new DS? Just curious…

outdoorzone says:

Do recommend rtv sealant added as well ??

outdoorzone says:

I always have to hit my flange bolts with a torch for heat first to loosen the locktite and then the bolts remove easier.

RFVC 600 says:

Hell yeah. You're one of the few YouTube geniuses that help keep this pizza man rolling. Thanks!

Michael Wentz says:

Great video only thing he didnt do is line his marks back up but be he did mark and tell everyone to do dont think it matters a s much as long as you get to depth with nut and torque is right

Chris Fitzpatrick says:

Should you put sealant on back of the seal when you install new one?

Keith Jensen says:

Why a whole new drive shaft?
Why not just replace the u-joints??

Larry Morris says:

show me how to fix a abs on a 07 ford 150

What make and model was this vehicle? My 2001 Ford F150 pinion bearing didn't pop out at all.

franck bosson says:

Jacob Burrows says:

Roughly how much should this cost to be done at a shop? Really don’t have time to DIY and don’t want to get ripped off

Russel Blackwell says:

How do you remove the nut with no impact driver I have an lsd ford 3.23 in a1998 ford fairlane here in Australia and don't know how to.use a tension wrench here I work from home limited tools thanks

Charles Ohlandt says:

Will this approach work on the Sterling 10.5?

Kenneth Settles says:

What do you do if you watched the wrong video and you took it apart without measuring the preload?

Tommy Boy says:

Very informative video. Thanks.

Pepper says:

Damn I was gonna DIY it myself but then with all these tools I give up lol

Steve Rives says:

Why not remove the tires and measure your preload before you remove the flange?
