Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal, remove the heat shield cover and exhaust pipes (if necessary), remove the driveshaft cover (if equipped), place match marks on the rear U-joint yoke and the differential pinion flange, remove the yoke-to-pinion flange bolts and nuts, remove the center bearing retaining bolts, pull the sleeve yoke out of the extension housing and remove the driveshaft, plug the extension housing, lubricate the sleeve yoke splines, remove the extension housing plug and carefully insert the sleeve yoke into the extension housing, raise the center bearing into place, install the center bearing retaining bolts and tighten them to the torque, align the match marks on the rear U-joint yoke and the pinion flange, connect the yoke to the flange with the nuts and bolts and tighten them to the torque, and reverse the removal process for the remainder of the installation.

The driveshaft transmits power between the transaxle and the rear differential, employing a splined sleeve yoke at the front end and bolted to the differential pinion flange at the rear end. Universal joints are located at either end of the driveshaft, and a third U-joint is installed behind the center bearing, which is a ball-type bearing mounted in a rubber cushion attached to the vehicle floorpan. All models are equipped with a pair of front axle shafts and two rear axle shafts, consisting of an inner and outer ball-and-cage type CV joint connected by an axleshaft, or a tri-pot inner joint and a ball-and-cage outer joint. The inner CV joint can be disassembled, while the axleshaft and outer CV joint are a single assembly and cannot be disassembled. The driveshaft assembly requires very little service, and problems with the driveshaft are usually indicated by a noise or vibration while driving the vehicle.
