You can't figure it out? What a hack.



Look at the pinion flange where the driveshaft was bolted on. See the nice clean outline inside the exposed dirty area? Looks kinda like a "shadow" of the driveshaft's flange, doesn't it?


U ALWAYS INDEX

Always? Even if you're replacing both u-joints? Or the pinion flange? Or the driveshaft? Or the rear driveshaft flange? How about if you're replacing the entire rear end?

"MasterBlaster"

Apparently "collage boy" does. He was asked that question before as how to reassemble the pinion as per Ford's shop manual ( he claims to be a master, so he would quite obliviously follow the shop manual too a tee ). He said to index the pinion nut. The shop manual says to throw away the pinion nut.
