Ok, i did a serch and could not find an answer to this. I have a 1997 Mountaineer with all wheel drive. I had the tranny out to fix a leak and the rubber boot on the front drive shaft going from the transfer case to the front axle was shot. This is the boot on the end at the transfer case. It looks to be a sealed cv joint. The joint had run dry for sometime so i decided to replace it. The joint is a non servicable part so i had to buy a reman unit from NAPA. I put the tranny and all back together and waited on the remaned shaft to come in. Now i cant get the new shaft to go in. I took it out when i took the tranny out so i dont know if it would have come out with out a problem. My million dollar question is.... do you have to take the tranny or transfer case out to remove and replace this drive shaft???????
Please help.............
