If you are talking about the peace where the drive shaft bolts on that is called a yolk and the bearing behind that is a pinion bearing and there is a crush colar in there now did the nut just loosen or dose the hole shaft move if the nut just loosened yes you can tighten it back you but don't give crazy if the shaft is moving you have to rebuild the rear end I hope this helps
You need to remove the axle shafts. Remove the differential cover, pinion shaft and c-locks. Then you can unbolt the backing plates and transfer the park brakes.
pinion depth was not set properly when the rear end was done, take it back where you had it done. Probably by now the ring and pinion have suffered unrepairable damage and will have to be replaced again.
If before 1999 vehicle it's real easy....jack up vehicle pull the wheels off remove calipers and hang by wire pull rotors off....Now loosen all the bolts on the differentail housing cover with a pan underneath to catch the fuild and take the cover off ....drain all the rear end fuild....turn one axle till you see the lock screw in the pinion shaft {middle} take lock screw out then rotate the axle till you can pull the pinion shaft out.....then push on axle to release the C Lock holding the axle in and remove it ..then pull out axle....to install put axle in install the C Lock in groove on axle ...put pinion shalf back in check C locks are in right postion then tighten the pinion lock screw ..install cover with bead of silicon or gasket and all bolts fill with fresh rear end fuild {on right side screw out plug half way up housing} until it starts to come out fill screw plug opening Please NOTE 1999 and NEWER vehicles is not done this way...if it is do not attempt THIS WAY...ASK!!!!!
It is the pinion yoke flange to the driveshaft. NO you can not cut it off. A large nut in the middle of it has to be removed. The nut attaches to the pinion driven gearand if cut off a new gear will be needed
remove both wheels
Remove the center axle cover
remove the inner axle C clips
they just slide right out easily
Disconnect the drive shave
Remove the pinion nut behind the drive shaft on the axle
Remove the screw inside the pin for the pinion gears
remove 2 pinion gears and the shaft
Now you can gain access the the bolts for the carrier
Check the wire harness on the transfer case to make sure it's still plugged in. Check the selector switch in the dash. Check the hub sensor wire harnesses on the front wheels. Check for error codes through OBD-II connector under the dash. Good luck.
