Black Drive Shaft Center Support Bearing Long Working Lifespan

Product Name: Drive Shaft Center Bearing Rubber With Pressurized Oil Cup , Transmission Shaft Hanger

Securing the correct parts and prepare for replacement:

After you've correctly determined that the center support bearing is damaged and needs to be replaced, you need to prepare for the replacement. The first thing you should do is secure the right replacement parts, tools and materials that you'll need to complete this job safely and correctly.

Materials Needed

Jack and jack stands

WD-40 or other penetrating oil

Work light

Step 1: Prepare the vehicle for working. Use a floor jack to raise the vehicle to a height that will allow easy access to the driveshaft while using your tools.

Jack one wheel at a time and place jack stands underneath solid mounts for support. Once the vehicle is secured make sure you have enough light to see underneath the vehicle. A work light attached to the front axle or rear axle is a good idea.

Step 2: Lubricate rusty bolts. While you are under the vehicle, take a can of WD-40 and spray a liberal amount of penetrating fluid on each bolt that attaches the driveshaft (the front and rear).

Let the penetrating oil sit for 10 minutes before removing proceeding to next step.
