'95 Ford Bronco full size I dropped the rear driveline off at the rearend---the shaft to the pinion shakes in my hand--does it ride in a bearing and how does it come out?
Normally when you take driveshaft off, you'll see a big nut in behind it, that attaches yolk to differential. Remove that big nut, and it should come out, but may need a puller. It's splined, and should be a bearing in housing,yolk.

The pinion bearing has escessive preload. When this happens there excessive vibration.On 4x4 the front and the rear drive shaft has to rotate at the same speed. you are mainly locking up, the pinion is not moving freely
hello, fluid leaking out of rear end is probably the pinion shaft seal, its were the drive shaft hooks to the rearend, you have to drop drive shaft, take yoke off rearend, or if it is,more further towards the back,were wheels are, then you need axle shaft seal, you have one on both sides on the rearend, behind the drums, where the back brakes are, also look and see if its coming from back of transmission, where drive shaft goes into the transmission, see if you can tell what color fluid is, if its red, its probably rear transmission seal, where drive shaft goes into the transmission.
Working through cover opening, remove differential pinion shaft lock pin and remove differential pinion shaft and differential pinion gears (4215).
NOTE: THIS IS FREE INFORMATION!!!!
Remove rear brake anti-lock sensor . Push axle shaft inward until u-washers at button end of the axle shaft are clear of side gear recess.
CAUTION: Do not damage inner wheel bearing oil seals when removing axle shafts from rear axle housing. In addition, axle shafts should be completely removed from rear axle housing.
Remove u-washers and pull axle shafts out of the rear axle housing.
Usually by countting the bolts yhat are on the cover or the pumpkin. There msy be a tag attached to the rear end if no one has taken it off. -Good Luck, -Ned-
Hello, If the tag is not present, you can get a rough estimate by putting a chalk line on the tire and on the drive shaft. With the vehicle jacked up spin the wheel and see how many times the drive shaft spins with a full tire rotation. If the shaft spins about 3 3/4 times you probably got the 3.73. If it spins a little over 4 times you probably got the 4.10. To get it exact you can remove the differential cover and count the teeth on the ring gear and pinion gear then divide the two to get the ratio. On the back of the rear differential there's a metaltag sticking out, with various numbers on it, like 8.8 for the 8.8" rear end, and probably a 3 73 or 4 10 for gear ratio. If there's a L between the numbers 3 L 73 then it is a limited slip. Also, the sticker in your door jamb will have info on it. One section will have the Axle code, 97 or R6 or something. The 8.8 should be plenty of enough axle for your motor but you can not go wrong with a ford 9 inch though becuase this will axle will handle any amount of horsepower you throw at it and the axles are easy to replace as well. I hope this fixes your problem.
