Installation Steps

Measure the gap between the front driveshaft and the front differential pinion seal. The gap should be 1/8” or less.

1a. The driveshaft pictured above has pulled out. We recommend the complete removal of driveshaft so that the seal and retaining clip can be inspected for damage.

Use a T55 torx bit to remove the six bolts holding the rear of the driveshaft to the transfer case flange.

Completely remove all factory bolts and 2-hole spacer plates.

Compress driveshaft towards engine while pushing up towards transmission.

4a. If performing a seal and retaining clip inspection, pull driveshaft off of differential pinion. Use Mercedes # 9073300602 if seal or clip are damaged.
