COM86 Posted June 25, 2019 Posted June 25, 2019 Curious about the name of the part that bolts/connects to the Ford 8.8 axle and the jeep driveshaft. The picture shows the 4 bolts. I tried to get the piece in question but had difficulty in removing it. Thank you.
Pete M Posted June 25, 2019 Posted June 25, 2019 flange adapter. one from an Aerostar van has the correct ujoint size. (crown vic might too. haven't thought about this for a while)
DirtyComanche Posted June 25, 2019 Posted June 25, 2019 Companion flange. The other flange (on your axle) is the pinion flange... So the one that goes with it is the companion. But you will hear adapter flange too... Ford glues the ujoints in so they're rather terrible to get out. The Explorer would have the tight size. Hacksawing the driveshaft is easier if you're at a pick and pull type place.

gogmorgo Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 Is it like the GM ones that are secured with nylon that you need to melt out? Talk about pain in the butt...
