Trustmark Authoring Standards (TAS) Repair Procedures

NOTE: TAS style procedures can be identified by steps that have no accompanying step text and the magenta color of the electrical connectors and fasteners such as nuts, bolts, clamps or clips.

A TAS removal and installation procedure uses a sequence of color illustrations to indicate the order to be followed when removing/disassembling or installing/assembling a component.

TAS Graphics

Colors used in the graphic are as follows:
- Blue - Component to be removed/installed or disassembled/assembled.
- Green and Brown - Additional components that need to be removed/installed or disassembled/assembled prior to the target component.
- Yellow - Component that is touched or affected in a way but remains in the vehicle. It may be detached, attached, moved, modified, checked, adjusted etc.
- Magenta - Electrical connectors and fasteners such as nuts, bolts, clamps and clips.
- Pale Blue - Special tool(s) and general equipment.

One illustration may have multiple steps assigned to it.

Numbered pointers are used to indicate the number of electrical connectors and fasteners such as nuts, bolts, clamps and clips.

Items in the illustration can be transparent or use cutouts to show hidden details.

TAS Symbols

Symbols are used inside the graphics and in the text area to enhance the information display.

Removal

- CAUTIONS:
- Nuts and bolts must be tightened with the weight of the vehicle on the suspension.
- Do not allow halfshafts to hang unsupported at one end or joint damage will occur.
- Make sure the halfshaft constant velocity (CV) joints do not over articulate. Failure to follow this instruction may result in damage to the CV joints.
- Angularly Adjusted Roller (AAR) joints, used at the inboard end of some halfshafts have no internal retaining mechanism and can separate.

1. WARNING: Make sure to support the vehicle with axle stands.

Raise and support the vehicle.

2. Remove both rear wheels and tires.

6. NOTE: Use penetrating oil - spray through the driveshaft bolt holes as shown.

7. NOTE: Driveshaft joint is removed for clarity.

8. NOTE:
- Two washers must be installed to the assist in the removal of the driveshaft.
- Alternate tightening of the bolts until movement of the driveshaft joint is detected.

9. NOTE:
- Two washers must be installed to the assist in the removal of the driveshaft.
- Alternate tightening of the bolts until movement of the driveshaft joint is detected.
