Ford FRPP Aluminum driveshaft install

96SNAKE · July 7th, 2010, 05:51 AM

I'm going to buy this driveshaft in a few days for my 96 Cobra. What else do I need for installation? And about how much do you think Ford will charge me to get it installed at the dealership? Thanks again, guys. Also do I need to tell them to watch the transmission fluid just in case if any leaks out while they are installing it? And does this come with high-performance u-joints? And I have a 31 spline rear axle, right? Pretty much is this just going to be like a bolt on and go?

Dude,
Its only 4 bolts. You can do this in your driveway in 20 minutes or less.

They make a socket that would make the job even easier. I think its a 12 pt. socket. Its called a "Ford Driveshaft Socket" I know Snap-on makes it. I'm sure others make it too.

Back the car up on ramps, or jack it up. Little or no fluid will come out the trans. At least none did when I did mine.

But literally 4 bolts, out. swap, 4 bolts back in. Done.

And this goes without saying but use stands and don't forget to set the ebrake.
