2001 2500 carrier bearing replacement

Jul 25, 2004 6 Replies

Hello, how does the driveshaft separate to change the carrier bearing on a



2001 Chevy 2500 4x4? I haven't looked under the boot yet near the center yokes - not sure if it is a slip joint or I will have to dis-assemble the u-joints?

thx, D.

It slides apart...with a little effort.

well..... maybe sometimes a lot of effort.

Well, I'm having a hard time deciphering your technical jargon. Why don't we just start with, "which driveshaft are you talking about"? Front, rear...etc. I suspect that you are talking about the front driveshaft. In that case, the driveshaft just slides off the splines of the front output shaft on the transfer case.

Maybe....but I've rarely seen a 4X4 Chevy truck with a two piece rear driveshaft. It would have to be a 4 door cab with the full size box to get a two piece. If it was 2 wheel drive, yes, a lot of them have two piece driveshafts.
