  Q: How to remove and install front driveshafts and universal joints on Mazda B2200?

  A:

  In order to remove and install driveshaft, ensure that first, the vehicle is raised and supported safely to fit the matches the driveshaft against the end yoke so as to fit in correctly. To release the boot off the transfer case slip yoke, pull back the dust slinger then remove the bolts and straps holding the driveshaft to the front driving axle yoke, and the U-joint assembly. Removal of the driveshaft assembly to replace it with a new one is done by simply sliding the splined yoke assembly out of the transfer case, checking the boot and stud yoke splines over to ensure no damage has occurred, and replacing where necessary. To install, use a light coat of Multi-purpose Long-Life lubricant on the splines of the yoke and the inner part of the rubber boot, install the U-joint assembly in the original position and use retaining bolts and straps, fitting them to the required torque. When there is a single type of Cardan type U-joint, the driveshaft is removed and the parts should be matched by removing the snaprings and pressing the bearing caps out by sockets. Cleanse new bearing caps and put them on, making sure that they sit and that they move freely. In a U-joint, in case of a double type Cardan, match the spiders and yokes, then snapring screws are removed and then the bearings are pressed out using a U-joint tool. Install the joint by placing the spider bosses in correct position, packing socket relief and ball with lubricant and installing the required components and snaprings. Lastly, lubricate the driveshaft slip splines and carefully re-fit slip yoke by replacing it in its original position.
