So I am thinking of installing my new Tom Woods rear driveshaft with yokes myself....any write-ups with torque specs ect for the pinion and transfercase flange nuts? Also any angle measurements for the pinion/driveshaft?
Any tips? Any tricks?
Thanks!
This is gonna be a huge mod day...rear bumper, driveshaft, 1" higher in the front 3/4" higher in the back, rear upper arms, front lower arms, front trac-bar, diff covers, and a snorkel

 

Bump to help this neighbor to the north,...

 

All in one day....

You all are ambitious up north....

Good luck man...

 

I'd also love to see a write up as drive shafts are in my future as well.

 

yes I have had 2 factory front shafts go in 2 off road outings, need the front ASAP--Would like to do myself and would appreciate some instructions. 07 4 door JK Thanks in advance

 

There is a write up here somewhere but I didn't have any luck finding it using search. If no one else helps out, call Tom Woods, they will give you all the info you need.

 

I just found this write up. It's JE Reel but should be the same shouldn't it??

I was looking at that...I wasn't sure about that "rotational torque" spec...maybe it's worth me having a shop put it in....

Installation

Special Tools required for the installation:

• 5/16 – 12 point box wrench or shallow socket. You will need a 12 point box wrench to fit the head of the bolts that hold the stock drive shaft joints to the factory yokes on both the transfer case and on the axle pinion shaft.

• 1-1/8 inch socket for the front pinion yoke.

• 1-1/4 inch socket for the transfer case yokes.

• 1-5/16 inch socket for the rear axle yoke.

Note: Be very careful to install the correct yoke. Do not mix up the front and rear axle
yokes or you will damage the pinion seals and will have an oil leak.

Driveline Angle: Point rear pinion toward transfer case not parallel to the output shaft.

Control Arms: Rear adjustable control arms are required to adjust the pinion angle for the Rear Driveshaft.


1. Lift the Jeep and support it on jack stands or a
hoist so all 4 wheels are free to rotate. This will
make it easier to remove the factory bolts on the
driveshaft joints.

2. Remove the factory driveshaft.

3. Remove the pinion yoke after putting a drain pan
under the differential. You don’t need to drain the
oil, just a little will leak out when you remove the
yoke.

4. Install the new pinion yoke.

5. Remove the transfer case yoke after putting a drain
pan under the transfer case. Some oil may leak
out of the transfer case when you take the yoke
off, but there is no need to drain the transfer case
completely.

6. Install the new transfer case yoke.

7. Install the new driveshaft to the new yokes.

8. Check and refill oil as needed.


Torque Specifications:

T-Case Yoke Nut for Front and Rear Output (22mm)

Install and tighten a new yoke nut to 122-176 N·m (90-130 ft. lbs.) torque.

Front and Rear Pinion Yoke Nut (7/8”-20)

Install new nut on the pinion gear and tighten nut to 217 N·m (160 ft. lbs.).

5/16” bolts and U-bolt Nuts

17 ft. lbs. for the 5/16” bolts and the nuts on the U- bolts.
