Question 1

How to Service and Repair a Driveshaft Center Support Bearing for LD on Dodge Ram 2500?

Accepted Answer

First, disconnect the rear propeller shaft by taking it off and marking the shaft and the slip yoke as installation guides. Following this, take off the slip joint boot clamp, glide the boot over the boot collar and grab the shafts and pull them apart. Put Tool 1130 in place between the slinger and driveshaft center support bearing and then add Bridge 938 onto the splitter to replace the driveshaft center support bearing. If the slinger has been removed, put a new one on the shaft and use the installer tool to drive it into the correct place. Replace the driveshaft center support bearing and the boot collar on the shaft with Installer 6052 in place. Remove any dirt from the shaft splines, grease them with multi-purpose grease and then align the master splines before sliding the front and rear half shafts together. Suction the slip yoke boot onto the boot collar and fit the clamp on. Now, reinstall the propeller shaft in the vehicle. To deal with launch shudder, move the driveshaft center support bearing down by 3.0 mm with shim stock or metal plates, use longer bolts and avoid washers.

Question 2

How to Remove and Install a Driveshaft Center Support Bearing, and Why Is It Crucial to Use the Original Type on Dodge Ram 2500?

Accepted Answer

Driveshaft center support bearings can only be the same type that came with the motor, so it's important to always use the right type. Before removing the driveshaft center support bearing, you have to first take off the rear propeller shaft, remove the clamp that holds the slip joint boot and separate the two half-shafts. Hammer and punch the slinger down with a small space so that you can fit the bearing splitter in place. Slide Tool 1130 between the slinger and the shaft so that neither the tool nor the shaft spline is damaged during further operations. Hold the shaft in a press and push off the bearing onto a shield. To set up the machine, mount a slinger onto the shaft and use the proper installer tool to push it into place. After that, secure the driveshaft center support bearing onto the shaft using Bearing Installer Tool 6052, driving it on using a hammer until the fitting is complete. Combine rubbing them with plenty of clean cloth, then grease the shaft splines with multipurpose grease. Attach the master splines together, place the front and rear half-shafts side by side, slide the slip yoke boot in place and attach a new clamp. Once all other assembly is complete, put the propeller shaft back into place.
